Results showed a highly significant time x covariate interaction ( F (1, 16) = 15.84, p =.001, η 2 p = 0.48), with post-hoc tests revealing a non-significant negative relation of post-surgical hospital stay and child depressive symptoms at T1 ( r T1 = − 0.18, n.s. ), and a moderate positive non-significant correlation at T2 ( r T2 = 0.36, n.s. ).
