X, mean; SD, standard deviation. *Significant differences p < 0.05. Chi-square test was used for the comparison of prevalences (χ2). Mean comparisons were conducted using Student's t-test (F) or the Mann-Whitney U test (U), depending on normality of distribution. Fisher's exact test was applied when more than 20% of frequencies had a sample size < 5. PSS, Perceived Stress Scale; Zung, Self-Rating Depression Scale; STAI, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (A-A: State-Anxiety); MBI, Maslach Burnout Inventory; AAQ-II, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II; TIL Scale UCLA, The Three-Item Loneliness Scale.
