Scatterplots of coping (benefit-finding) vs. quality of end-of-life care and resilience (BRS-6) vs. quality of end-of-life care

Note. Added to each scatterplot are a third-degree fractional polynomial approximation (generalized linear model, GLM) and a linear approximation with a 95% confidence interval. Scatterplots of all pairings of quality of support vs. bereavement outcomes are provided in Supplementary file2.
