Impacto en la salud mental, de un grupo de trabajadores que laboran bajo la modalidad de teletrabajo, en el municipio de Villavicencio, Colombia.

Abstract

This research work is aimed at understanding telework and the impact it has on the mental health of those working under this modality. In this way, the interpretative paradigm and Phenomenology-Hermeneutics are implemented as epistemology, in order to generate comprehensions in the light of three research categories which are: Psychological well-being, Mental Health and Roles that allow to generate an approach to the investigative phenomenon from the implementation of a qualitative approach, which is characterized by the collection and analysis of information, through observation and verbal expressions of participants. The main findings are characterized by the identification of self-care behaviors, behaviors associated with stress, anxiety and limitations in the different interactions they establish with their co-workers and family members, which results in difficulties in the processes of adaptation and response to the labor and family demands of the context.
