  • Involved university professors from two Colombian institutions delivering virtual education.
  • Data collection focused on teleworking conditions, exposure to risk factors (physical environment, task, organization), and perceived health status.

    • Main Results:

    • Teleworking professors reported exposure to various risk factors in their physical work environment.
    • Specific task and organizational conditions were identified as potentially impacting faculty health.
    • A correlation was observed between certain work conditions and the professors' perceived health status.

    Conclusions:

    • Teleworking in virtual higher education presents unique occupational health challenges for university professors.
    • Addressing physical, task, and organizational risk factors is essential to improve faculty health and well-being in teleworking environments.
    • Further research is needed to develop targeted interventions for this population.
