Depression, HRQoL, 5 Personality Factors
Binomial Logistic Regression showed that HRQol was not a significant
predictor of the Depression data, Χ2 (1) = 2.675,p > 0.05. Although 52% (Nagelkerke
R2) of the explained variance in the Depression could
be explained by the HRQoL subscale, Self-Image (p =0.006),
Χ2 (6) = 23.212, p = 0.001. As the Self-Image
scale increased by one unit, Depression levels decreased by 0.078
(β = - 0.078). Binomial Logistic Regression showed that
Neuroticism (p =0.01) was a significant predictor of the
Depression data, Χ2 (5) = 12.532, p = 0.028.
This means that, as Neuroticism increased by one unit, Depression levels
decreased by 0.128 units (β = -0.128).
Mediation: HRQoL-Neuroticism- Stress
With the use of the PROCESS software it was shown that the mediation
model between HRQoL, Neuroticism and Stress is a statistically
significant predictor of Stress, F(2,44) =185.35, p =0.00. In the
indirect effect of x on y the confidence intervals BootLLCI=0.0054 and
BootULCI = 0.0723 are greater than 0 which shows that the mediation
shows statistical significance with an effect of 0.0356 which is
considered a moderate effect. The mediation model is shown in Figure 1.
