Hypothesized Model: Patient and Caregiver Number of Comorbidities/Conditions, Meaning-Based Coping, and Quality of Life

Note: Subscript p refers to patients and subscript c refers to caregivers. The hypotheses relevant to each path in the model have been noted (i.e., H1 refers to Hypotheses 1). H5 also considered the moderating role of one dyad member’s meaning-based coping on the relationship between comorbidities/conditions and QOL of the other (paths not shown). Independent effects (i.e., actor effects) are represented by solid lines. Interdependent effects (i.e., partner effects) are represented by dashed lines. Error covariances are represented by curved double-headed arrows.
