Level of exposure to indicators of professional quality of life (ProQoL): (1) low, (2) low–medium, (3) medium, (4) medium–high, (5) high. The high, medium and low score classification is: CF (low: 0–7; medium: 8–17; high: 18–50), BU (low: 0–17; medium: 18–27; high: 28–50) and CS (low: 0–32; medium: 33–41; high: 42–50). Level of exposure to occupational psychosocial risks (ISTAS21): (5) medium, (6) medium–high, (7) high. The high, medium and low score classification is: PD (low: 0–8; medium: 9–11; high: 12–20), CW-PD (low: 0–5; medium: 6–8; high: 9–20), SS-QL (low: 0–3; medium: 4–6; high: 7–20), C (low: 0–2; medium: 3–5; high: 6–12) and DP (low: 0–1; medium: 2–3; high: 4–8).
