Findings: There was a negative correlation between the components of psychosomatic and pain anxiety with the dimensions of quality of life. Moreover, there was an indirect relation between the components of psychosomatic with the dimensions of quality of life, a direct relation between pain anxiety and the dimensions of quality of life.
