Structural equation modeling fit 3 models relationship.Results: Analyses indicated that relationships between QOL, were all indirect. Specifically, influenced through mental which turn QOL.Conclusions: Our findings support social cognitives model activity’s QOL. Subsequent tests hypothesized across time are recommended.
