Keywords:
health emergency, virtual teaching, work satisfaction, teleworking, occupational health, university professors.Abstract
Introduction: COVID-19 caused job changes and influenced the behavior of university professors.
Objective: To describe well-being and occupational health in research training of university professors through teleworking.
Methods: A systematic analysis was carried out using the PRISMA methodology that included the entire year 2022 and the first months of 2023. With the inclusion articles, Litmaps artificial intelligence was applied to the connection network. A questionnaire was applied and subsequently the Likert scale was applied. The instrument was validated with Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The one-sample t test was considered to test as a descriptive hypothesis whether well-being and occupational health from research training in university professors through teleworking were satisfactory.
Results: In the study, 41.2% of the review and research articles selected with the PRISMA methodology corresponded to the year 2022. However, 50.0% of the seed articles were from 2023, where their map analysis indicated that there were no citations of correspondences. Regarding the result of the assessment with the Likert scale, and then, with the hypothesis test, dissatisfaction was obtained among university professors towards research training through teleworking.
Conclusions: There was dissatisfaction regarding well-being and occupational health for research training through teleworking because university professors considered that working conditions were not favorable.
