Social Support: Moderator or Mediator Effect on Quality of Life of Persons Living With HIV/AIDS?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Social support (SS) was investigated as a predictor of quality of life (QoL) and a moderator and mediator in the relationship between stressful life events (SLE) and QoL in persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Data were obtained from 809 PLWHA in the course of interviews using standardized questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis indicated SS accounted for 24% of the variance in QoL, R2 = .2447, p < .0001. Results from generalized estimating equations analysis proved significant and SS, χ2 = 96.21, p < .0001, number of SLE, χ2 = 55.16, p < .0001, and intensity of SLE, χ2 = 56.27, p < .0001, were found to predict QoL. The Sobel test results revealed SS to have a partial mediating effect, Sobel's z = −3.625, p < .0003. The results suggest SS represents a key variable to consider when planning care strategies aimed at optimizing the QoL of PLWHA.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
