Unstandardized path coefficients and mediation effects

Outcome	Treatment to Outcome	Treatment to Mediator	Mediator to Outcome	Mediation Effect (95% CI)
A, Change in meaning and peace as mediator
Quality of life	0.25 (0.28)	0.32 (0.10)^**	1.00 (0.26)^**	.32 (.08 to .64)
Depression	−0.01 (0.05)	0.33 (0.10)^**	−0.21 (0.05)^**	−.07 (−.14 to −.02)

All path coefficients and mediation effects are unstandardized. Coefficients represent b (S.E.). Mediation effect is the effect of treatment status to mediator and that of mediator to outcome. Numbers in parentheses are standard error estimates. Numbers in round brackets are the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence intervals of the mediation effects. When the confidence interval does not include zero, the mediation effect is significant at P = .05.

P < .05.
