Fixed parameters are marked with an asterisk. Intercepts and unstandardized factor loadings of same indicators were set equal over measurement points. SM1 to SM4 = Indicators for Self-management skills, pQL1 to pQL3 = Indicators for Physical quality of life, mQL1 to mQL4 = Indicators for Mental quality of life, D1 and D2 = Indicators for Depressive symptoms. SE = standard error
