COVID-19 has come to change societal organization. Due to lockdowns, work typologies have been rethought and telework has gained strength. However, the impact of the constant use of information and communication technologies on the mental health of workers needs to be considered. We aimed to investigate the impact of different work conditions on mental health, to which end we disseminated an online questionnaire during lockdowns to assess imagined surveillance, mobile maintenance expectation, communication overload, feelings of entrapment, depression, anxiety, stress, and flourishing in four groups (employed in telework, employed on-site, employed in layoff, and unemployed). We computed mean comparisons and serial mediations. We show that depression and anxiety were more prevalent in women; parents flourished more than people without children; and people with a higher level of education feel more entrapment. Crucially, we show that telework was associated with imagined surveillance and communication overload, which mediated the association with mobile maintenance expectations and entrapment (which was exacerbated by parenthood), impacting mental health and the quality of life. However, this was also partially observed in the remaining work conditions. Finally, flourishing worked as a protector against mental health issues in all work conditions. We discuss this given the massification of digital migration.
Métodos e instrumentos de avaliação psicológica em crianças cegas são escassos. Com o objetivo.de validar um método confiável na mensuração do stress nessa população, verificamos.as características psicométricas da Escala de Stress Infantil (ESI). Aplicamos o instrumento em 46 crianças cegas congênitas, alunas do Ensino Fundamental do Instituto Benjamin Constant do Rio de Janeiro. A análise fatorial exploratória revelou quatro fatores, conforme esperado, mostrando boa consistência interna das quatro diferentes dimensões da escala. Ao executarmos a análise fatorial confirmatória, detectamos o modelo com um fator como o melhor, como já apontado pela literatura, o que demonstra que as quatro dimensões convergem para um constructo único: stress. A confiabilidade da escala mostrou-se satisfatória, apresentando alfa.de Cronbach de 0,91. Este estudo dá subsídios para a validade da ESI na mensuração do stress em crianças cegas.
