aSignificant at the 5% level. Listwise N = 180, Missing N = 8. bGamma (γ); standardized regression coefficients representing directional relationships between cNPIS Nurse-Patient-Interaction and dST1 Interpersonal Self-Transcendence, eST2 Intrapersonal self-transcendence and fPIL Meaning-in-life). gBeta (β) standardized regression coefficients representing directional relationships between ST1, ST2 and PIL. hIndirect effects represent the influence of NPIS mediated by intervening variables (mediators). iTotal Effect represent the total influence of the explanatory variable NPIS (direct + indirect effects)
