| Predictors | B | SE | β |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics | |||
| Age | −.06 | .08 | −.05 |
| Marital status | −1.08 | 1.46 | −.04 |
| Education | .23 | 1.33 | .01 |
| Limited by a comorbidity | 1.88 | 1.33 | .09 |
| Time since diagnosis | −.01 | .13 | −.00 |

At the final step, the overall model was significant and explained 51.5 % of the variance in psychological distress, F(10, 143) = 15.16, p < 0.001
* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.001
