ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To examine how the mismatch between telecommuting preference and telecommuting frequency was associated with psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic.METHODS:
Data from 33,302 workers throughout Japan were obtained using an Internet survey. Among 33,302 participants, 20,395 who telecommuted were included in the analysis. Participants' telecommuting preference and frequency during the COVID-19 pandemic were determined using a questionnaire. Psychological distress was assessed using Kessler 6 (K6).RESULTS:
Among participants who did and did not prefer to telecommute, those who telecommuted four or more days per week had an OR of psychological distress of 0.67 (Pâ<â0.001) and 1.87 (Pâ=â0.001), respectively, compared with those who rarely telecommuted.CONCLUSIONS:
The association between telecommuting and psychological distress differs depending on telecommuting preference.
