Scientific Production on Zoom Fatigue: Understanding a New Phenomenon

Abstract

The objective of this research was to characterize the production of Latin American scientific literature on Zoom fatigue. A retrospective and descriptive study was conducted in which 41 manuscripts published in journals indexed in the Scopus database between January 2020 and December 2021 were analyzed. The variables studied were document frequency, scientific production by country, number of authors, institutional affiliation and scientific production by descriptor. It was found that 58.54% of the identified manuscripts are research articles. The country with the highest scientific production is the United States (46.34%); institutions in the Philippines and the United States stand out since they have the highest scientific production, and Journal of Loss and Trauma is the journal with the highest number of publications. Regarding affiliation, the authors belong to entities in the Philippines. It is necessary to continue researching on zoom fatigue, considering that it is currently widely used worldwide in organizations, but the effect or positive or negative impacts on the human being are not measured.
