Introduction:
This review identifies and describes remote work’s main outcomes and complications during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
A systematic review of the literature was carried out that included observational studies whose population or partly carried out remote work published between March 1, 2020 and November 30, 2020. The descriptors were adapted to the bases: MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE, Scopus, and Psycinfo. 139 studies were found, and 15 articles were included in this synthesis.
Results:
A total 18,818 workers were reported, of which women represented 18.2%-100% of the population. The findings describe the increased use of electronic devices, sedentary lifestyle, anxiety, depression, feelings of loneliness, sleep disorders, and musculoskeletal pain in remote workers.
