IV refers to disclosure of insights; mediator is breast cancer concerns at follow-up; DV refers to each of the health outcomes (health self-efficacy, emotional well-being, and functional well-being) assessed at follow-up. Individual background characteristics and baseline variable were also entered in the analyses as covariates. The significance of Sobel z value was tested with one-tailed p values.
