What is Pandemic Fatigue

This chapter presents an overview of occupational health in remote work from the self-care perspective. A literature review regarding remote working conditions and their effects on health and well-being is included, along with an analysis of the most relevant self-care and practices that have been developed for working at the distance. The study focuses on faculty, specifically at a private university in Puebla, Mexico, and the effects of the pandemic-induced remote work schemes on their well-being, along with the most common ailments that emerged from remote working conditions and self-care practices that can be adopted to prevent or reduce them. A survey was conducted among faculty members to understand the health implications of remote work and what people have been doing to deal with them. The concept of health circles is introduced to help explain specific actions taken to promote self-care and group care.
