The patients were made to complete four questionnaires (Brief Illness Perception Quality of Life, Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory-II) and a socio-anamnestic form. They examined two mediational models in this cross-sectional study. In this first, the noted an indirect mediating effect of trait anxiety on the link between illness perception and job satisfaction.
