a-b. A theoretical conceptual description of the hypothesised relationships formulated before the study (Fig. 1a) and a schematic representation of the selected variables in the final model predicting family member’s sense of support within the closest family (Fig. 1b). It was hypothesised that the family member’s sense of support within the closest family (dependent variable; dark grey box) would be associated with five domains (in white boxes), each domain representing a subsystem or suprasystem (in light grey boxes)
