aseemingly unrelated regression, the three dependent variables are jointly modelled; b multiple linear regression model. PTSS: Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms; GPS-Sym: Global Psychotrauma Scale – total symptom score. * p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. c: smart working refers to working online from home.
