Abstract

Purpose: With the uptick in videoconferencing platforms resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, there were increased reports of videoconferencing fatigue among students. Previous research and measures have been developed to capture videoconferencing fatigue. One instrument, the Zoom Fatigue Scale (ZEF), has been previously researched, demonstrating validity and reliability. Despite this, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding the validity and reliability of videoconferencing fatigue instruments among social work students. Method: This study examined the psychometric properties of the ZEF instrument by conducting a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) among social work students. Results: Significant findings from the CFA concluded that the ZEF instrument has strong content, convergent and discriminant validity. The results indicate that the ZEF instrument is psychometrically sound in measuring videoconferencing fatigue among social work students. Discussion: Measuring videoconferencing fatigue is vital for academic institutions to implement preventative measures to alleviate it.

社会工作专业学生变焦疲劳量表的再验证

目的：随着2019冠状病毒病大流行导致视频会议平台的增加，越来越多的学生报告视频会议疲劳。以前的研究和措施已经发展到捕捉视频会议疲劳。一种工具，变焦疲劳量表（ZEF），已被研究，证明了有效性和可靠性。尽管如此，在社会工作专业的学生中，关于视频会议疲劳工具的有效性和可靠性的知识匮乏。方法：本研究以社工学生为对象，采用验证性因子分析（CFA）检验ZEF量表的心理测量特性。结果：CFA的显著结果表明，ZEF量表具有较强的内容效度、收敛效度和判别效度。结果表明，ZEF量表在测量社会工作学生的视频会议疲劳方面具有良好的心理测量效果。讨论：测量视频会议疲劳对于学术机构实施预防措施来缓解它至关重要。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
