Mediated model with statistically significant path coefficients based on 95% CIs (p<.05). The direct effect of stressful life events (SLEs) on Physical/Functional quality of life (PFQOl) was statistically significant as was the indirect effect of disengagement/denial coping (D/D). The total indirect effect for mediation (SLEs→>DD→PFQOL) was significant (−0.529, CI 95% = −1.206, −0.085). Also, the total indirect and direct effect (SLEs→>DD→PFQOL + SLES→PFQOL) was significant (−3.201, CI 95% = −5.000, −1.878)
