Three items of the Oslo social support scale are labelled ss1, ss2, and ss3. Three categories of the QOL scale are labelled qol1, qol2, and qol3.
QOL quality of life, Unstd. unstandardized estimate, S.E. standard error, Std. standardized estimate/factor loading, SMC squared multiple correlations, CR composite reliability.
