Abstract
Social capital significantly affects self-rated health with a total mediating effect of 31.35%.
- Self-rated health is directly influenced by social capital (β=0.127, 68.65% CI=0.082-0.171).
- Sleep quality mediates the relationship between social capital and self-rated health, accounting for 7.03% of the total effect (β=0.013, 95% CI=0.005-0.021).
- Psychological distress also mediates this relationship, contributing 20.00% to the total effect (β=0.037, 95% CI=0.024-0.049).
- A combined mediation effect through both sleep quality and psychological distress accounts for 4.32% of the total effect (β=0.008, 95% CI=0.004-0.013).
