| Unstand.Coeff. | SE or (Bootstrapping SE) | t-value or (Bootstrapping LLCI) | p-value or (Bootstrapping ULCI) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total effect of perceived health on mental health | 1.606 | 0.293 | 5.487 | <.001 |
| Direct effect of perceived health on mental health | 1.304 | 0.279 | 4.679 | <.001 |
| Direct effect of fear of COVID-19 on mental health | 0.252 | 0.035 | 7.309 | <.001 |
| Direct effect of perceived health on mediator | ||||
| Fear of COVID-19 | 1.199 | 0.395 | 3.033 | .003 |
| Indirect effect of perceived health on mental health | 0.302 | (0.120) | (0.088) | (.559) |
Note. Age and gender were adjusted for the model. Fear of COVID-19 was measured using Fear of COVID-19 Scale; Mental health using Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ−9). Unstand. Coeff. = unstandardized coefficient; LLCI = lower limit in 95% confidence interval; ULCI = upper limit in 95% confidence interval.
