N = 1031; The path was controlled for gender and marital status; the displayed effects are standardized; FM Fear of Malpractice, LC Legal awareness scale, EE Emotional Exhaustion, DP Depersonalization, rPA reduced Personal Accomplishment
**statistical significance level of P < 0.01, the indirect effect is significant (*) when the 95% CI does not include 0; SE, bootstrap regression standard error; R2, variance accounted for;
a = direct effect of FM on LC; b = direct effect of LC on Burnout; c = total effect of FM on Burnout; c’ = direct effect of FM on Burnout; a*b = indirect effect on Burnout
