Due to lockdowns, work typologies have been rethought and telework has gained strength. However, the impact of the constant use of information and communication technologies on the mental health of workers needs to be considered. We aimed to investigate the impact of different work conditions on mental health, to which end we disseminated an online questionnaire during lockdowns to assess imagined surveillance, mobile maintenance expectation, communication overload, feelings of entrapment, depression, anxiety, stress, and flourishing in four groups (employed in telework, employed on-site, employed in layoff, and unemployed). We computed mean comparisons and serial mediations. We show that depression and anxiety were more prevalent in women; parents flourished more than people without children; and people with a higher level of education feel more entrapment. Crucially, we show that telework was associated with imagined surveillance and communication overload, which mediated the association with mobile maintenance expectations and entrapment (which was exacerbated by parenthood), impacting mental health and the quality of life. However, this was also partially observed in the remaining work conditions. Finally, flourishing worked as a protector against mental health issues in all work conditions. We discuss this given the massification of digital migration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19052602","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,24]],"date-time":"2022-02-24T07:22:35Z","timestamp":1645687355000},"page":"2602","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Telework and Mental Health during COVID-19"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4439-182X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"In\u00eas","family":"Mendon\u00e7a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Sciences, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 1649-023 Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4895-0799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franz","family":"Coelho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Sciences, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 1649-023 Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2837-0965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo","family":"Ferraj\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Social Sciences and Technology, Universidade Europeia, 1500-210 Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4067-0386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Maria","family":"Abreu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Sciences, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 1649-023 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Health, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 1649-023 Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1037\/ppm0000012","article-title":"Texting while stressed: Implications for students\u2019 burnout, sleep, and well-being","volume":"2","author":"Murdock","year":"2013","journal-title":"Psychol.
