The aim of this research is to study the adequacy of the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Granada Burnout Questionnaire instruments to measure burnout in police officers through the study of the reliability and validity (concurrent and predictive) of these instruments. A cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample was composed of 1884 police officers, mostly men (85.4%), with an average age of 35.04 (SD = 8.30).

The Granada Burnout Questionnaire instrument correctly classifies burnout in police professionals.https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/17/6112burnoutGBQMBIpolice officersvalidity |
