Description
BACKGROUND Global nations have enforced strict health protocols because of the
COVID-19’s high transmission, infectivity, and mortality. As shown by increased online
learning and video conferencing, the employment and education sectors are shifting to
home-based activities. Video conferencing as a communication medium has subtly led
to zoom fatigue. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of zoom fatigue for early
prevention and treatment.
METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 335 Indonesian university
students selected by purposive sampling in July 2021. Data were collected using a
demographic questionnaire including online courses duration during the COVID-19
pandemic; Pittsburgh sleep quality index; depression, anxiety and stress scale-21;
and zoom & exhaustion fatigue (ZEF) scale through Google Form (Google LLC, USA)
distributed via social media and student forums. Association and correlation tests were
used, and the model was developed using linear regression.
RESULTS The respondents were aged 21.3 (1.8) years with 12.8 (5.1) months of online
courses during the COVID-19 pandemic and a ZEF scale of 2.8 (0.9). Students with higher
ZEF had irregular physical exercise, poorer sleep quality, longer video conferencing
sessions, longer months of courses during the COVID-19 pandemic, and higher mental
illness (i.e., stress, anxiety, and depression). Smoking negatively correlated with fatigue
(r = −0.12). The model for ZEF showed good predictability for zoom fatigue (p<0.001,
R2
= 0.57).
CONCLUSIONS Daily exposure to video conferencing in educational settings throughout
the pandemic has drastically increased zoom fatigue. The stakeholders must act
immediately to minimize the risks while providing maximum benefits.
