Legend: PE—psychophysical exhaustion, RD—relation deterioration, PI—professional inefficacy, DI—disappointment, BMI—body mass index. Kruskal–Wallis test + post-hoc analysis (Dunn–Bonferroni test) for quantitative variables, Chi-squared or Fisher’s exact test for qualitative variables; * Statistically significant (p < 0.05).
