Hypotheses summary.

Hypothesis Conclusion Observations
H1: there are significant differences in the prevalence of burnout syndrome between police officers who engage in sport activities and those who do not. Hypothesis H1 is accepted It is emphasized that the hypothesis is accepted because engaging and not engaging in sport activities does show significant differences in the dimension of mental exhaustion (p value ≤ 0.05)
H2: there are significant differences in the prevalence of burnout syndrome between police officers who engage in recreational activities and those who do not. Hypothesis H2 is rejected. It is observed that developing recreational activities does not show significant differences in the prevalence of burnout syndrome (p value ≥ 0.05)
H3: there are significant differences in the prevalence of burnout syndrome between police officers in stable marriages and single officers. Hypothesis H3 is rejected. Marital status—whether or not having a stable partner—does not show significant differences in the prevalence of burnout syndrome (p value ≥ 0.05).
H4: there are significant differences in the prevalence of burnout syndrome between male and female professionals. Hypothesis H4 is accepted. There are significant differences between men and women in the dimension of mental exhaustion (p value ≤ 0.05)
H5: there are significant differences in the prevalence of burnout syndrome between police officers with daily operational stressors and police officers with occasional operational stressors. Hypothesis H5 is accepted. There are significant differences between the cluster with occasional operational stressors and the cluster with daily operational stressors in the dimensions of mental exhaustion and guilt (p value ≤ 0.05).
