AB  - The attachment can be considered as a specific behavioral pattern that is 
      critical to healthy growth in most communities. Medical students are exposed to 
      high levels of psychological stress while being equipped with lower levels of 
      resilience. This study aims to determine the relationship between attachment 
      style and the quality of life of medical students. In this cross-sectional 
      correlational study, 150 students of Iranshahr University of Medical Sciences in 
      2018 were selected based on convenience sampling with consideration of inclusion 
      criteria. Revised Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS) and Quality of life questionnaire 
      (SF- 36) were used as data gathering scale. The data were analyzed with SPSS 
      ver.19 using the Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression. The 
      participants' mean quality of life score was 74.2 +/- 16.7. In attachment style, 
      48.7% of the participants had secure attachment, 26.0% avoidant attachment, and 
      25.0% ambivalent attachment. The results of this study indicated a significant 
      direct correlation between the quality of life scores and secure attachment style 
      (p value <0.000). Also, there was a significant inverse correlation between the 
      quality of life score and ambivalent attachment style (p value <0.000). 
      Attachment style predicted students' quality of life. Moreover, the role of 
      Attachment style highlighted potential areas for intervention to improve medical 
      student well-being and provide a foundation for longitudinal follow-up.
