20.500.12556/RUL-181736 Videoconferencing and sleep quality in Slovenian university students is there a mediating role of Zoom fatigue? Udeležba na videokonferencah in kakovost spanja pri slovenskih študentih mediacijska vloga Zoom izčrpanosti Given the expanding utilisation of technology in educational settings, online learning has become a common teaching method. It prevailed during the Covid-19 pandemic, but the effects of attending videoconferences with active participation on psychological functioning have not yet been studied in detail. This article aimed to evaluate the relationship between videoconferencing and sleep quality – one of the crucial mechanisms promoting physical and mental well-being. Additionally, we were interested in the potential mediating role of videoconferencing fatigue in this relationship. The survey took place during the Covid-19 epidemic (in Spring 2021). Our results show a negative relationship between videoconferencing/screen device use and sleep quality and that this relationship is mediated by videoconferencing fatigue. Results of the further analysis revealed that perceived study suitability plays a significant role in determining to what extent the duration of videoconferences relates to feelings of videoconferencing fatigue. Our findings aid in understanding the relationships between videoconferencing, Zoom fatigue, and sleep better. They may be helpful in optimising remote learning today, as they remain frequently used in higher education worldwide. S porastom rabe tehnologij v izobraževanju je spletno učenje postalo pogosta metoda poučevanja. Prevladovalo je med epidemijo covida-19, vendar učinki aktivne udeležbe na videokonferencah na psihološko delovanje niso bili podrobneje raziskani. Namen tega članka je bil preučiti odnos med udeležbo na videokonferencah in kakovostjo spanja, enega ključnih mehanizmov za spodbujanje telesnega in duševnega počutja. Zanimala nas je tudi mogoča mediacijska vloga videokonferenčne utrujenosti v tem odnosu. Vzorec je vključeval 529 slovenskih študentov, raziskava pa je potekala med epidemijo covida-19 (spomladi 2021). Naši rezultati kažejo negativno razmerje med uporabo videokonferenc/zaslonskih naprav in kakovostjo spanja ter potrjujejo, da je videokonferenčna utrujenost mediatorka v tem odnosu. Rezultati nadaljnjih analiz so razkrili, da ima zaznana ustreznost študija pomembno vlogo pri določanju, v kolikšni meri se trajanje videokonferenc povezuje z občutki videokonferenčne utrujenosti. Naše ugotovitve pripomorejo k boljšemu razumevanju odnosov med videokonferencami, t. i. Zoom izčrpanostjo in spanjem. Lahko bi bile koristne pri optimizaciji učenja na daljavo, ki se še vedno pogosto uporablja v visokošolskem izobraževanju po vsem svetu. online learning sleep quality university students videoconference fatigue Zoom fatigue spletno učenje kakovost spanja univerzitetni študentje videokonferenčna utrujenost Zoom izčrpanost videokonference true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-04-15 07:34:20 2026-04-15 07:34:21 2026-04-16 04:45:25 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 157-185 no. 1 Vol. 16 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 378 2232-2647 10.26529/cepsj.1697 198400003 RAZ_Vuk_Vita_2026.pdf RAZ_Vuk_Vita_2026.pdf 1 68BD90160587C5E4021FFE73CBB16E30 910d9231f476727faf0a6287bea614a2cc04881916897e6ed9e618531cede14a 59b712a5-388d-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=232433 https://journals.uni-lj.si/CEPSJ/article/view/26558 1 8856a5da-388c-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=232432 Pedagoška fakulteta CEPS journal 0 0 0
