FIGURE B2.

Validating the longitudinal serial mediation model COVID‐19 Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI), symptoms of anxiety, loneliness, and symptoms of depression with N = 651 rehabilitation patients (retaining dropouts by means of missing imputation). Note. The model is controlled for age, gender, education, ICD‐10 diagnosis. Reported coefficients are standardized betas coefficients, in brackets is the total effect; ** p < .01

With regard to the present serial mediation path model, three possible indirect effects were examined: (1) the total indirect path from CPDI to symptoms of depression through symptoms of anxiety and loneliness which was significant; (2) the specific indirect path through symptoms of anxiety which was not significant (ß = .107, 95% CI [0.063, 0.154]); (3) and the specific indirect path through loneliness (ß = .115, 95% CI [0.077, 0.156]), which was also significant
