摘要

Healthcare is undergoing rapid and significant changes, and new demands are emerging. Technological advancements offer potential solutions, but changes in work practices can negatively affect workers’ mental health and well-being. A Systematic Literature Review using the PRISMA methodology was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and APA PsycInfo. The aim was to identify methods, instruments, and techniques to evaluate the effects of technology in healthcare activities on mental health and well-being. Journal articles in English published between January 2018 and December 2023 were included. Studies not developed in healthcare, without evaluating psychosocial parameters, and with no participants included, were eliminated. The review summarized the results of 25 studies, with questionnaires such as the NASA Task Load Index/Surgery Task Load Index commonly used. Authors frequently explored the relationship between physiological signals (electroencephalography, electrocardiography, electromyography, and photoplethysmography), mental processes and mental disorders. Future research will study the most effective combination of methodologies to evaluate mental health and well-being in healthcare professionals.
