recuperación, riesgos psicosociales, salud mental, desconexión digital, hiperconectividad laboralResumen
La hiperconectividad laboral puede limitar la recuperación y aumentar conflictos entre trabajo y vida personal. Se realizó una revisión narrativa crítica de estudios y documentos institucionales para analizar mecanismos, límites de evidencia y estrategias de desconexión. Se distinguieron telepresión, exposición fuera de horario, desapego y agotamiento; las asociaciones observacionales no se interpretaron como efectos causales. La evidencia de intervención muestra beneficios sobre desapego, mientras que las políticas requieren aplicación organizacional efectiva. Se propone un programa de diagnóstico, rediseño de cargas, reglas de contacto y seguimiento participativo. Se concluye que la prevención debe proteger recuperación y autonomía, con indicadores diferenciados y resguardo de datos.
