During COVID-19 the workforce quickly adapted to using existing video-conferencing tools in order to work from home.
To explore use and experience of remote video-facilitated work practices in response to COVID-19: termed 'COVID Response Zoom-style Interactions (CRAZI)'.
A cross sectional study via a 66-item online survey for health and medical research and education sector workers. The survey included 8 sections: 1) pre-COVID video-conferencing meeting habits, 2) CRAZI meeting habits, 3) socialising, 4) CRAZI fashion, 5) behaviour standards, 6) family life, 7) future work, 8) participant demographics. Main outcomes were pre-COVID to CRAZI differences in frequency, length and type of video-based meetings, and video-conferencing experience.
202 participants, mostly Australian (median age 36-45, IQR 26-55 years) completed the survey. Women-to-men ratio was 3 : 1, 44.6%had children. COVID-19 changed video-conferencing frequency and maximum meeting size. Most participants found CRAZI meetings tiring and hard. Casual clothes dominated dress code (71.1%), pets were commonly seen. "Can you hear me now" was a commonly heard phrase. Good and bad behaviour were described, with formal codes of CRAZI conduct missing (58.7%) or unknown (21.9%). 76.6%of participants observed a child interrupting a CRAZI meeting, parents were mostly female. Despite challenges, most participants (76.6%) favoured video-conferencing post-pandemic, but preference for continuing to work from home varied.
CRAZI work, while tiring, has fostered different work-practices that may continue beyond the pandemic. Working from home with children adds joy for others, but complexity for workers. Pets may help owners and co-workers cope with the pandemic.
在 COVID-19 期间，劳动力迅速适应使用现有的视频会议工具，以便在家中工作。
探索在应对 COVID-19 时使用远程视频促进工作实践的情况和经验：称为“COVID 响应 Zoom 式交互（CRAZI）”。
通过针对健康和医学研究与教育部门工作者的 66 项在线调查进行横断面研究。该调查包括 8 个部分：1）COVID-19 之前的视频会议习惯，2）CRAZI 会议习惯，3）社交，4）CRAZI 时尚，5）行为标准，6）家庭生活，7）未来工作，8）参与者人口统计学。主要结果是 COVID-19 前后视频会议的频率、时长和类型，以及视频会议经验的差异。
202 名参与者，大多数来自澳大利亚（中位数年龄 36-45 岁，IQR 26-55 岁）完成了调查。女性与男性的比例为 3：1，44.6%有孩子。COVID-19 改变了视频会议的频率和最大会议规模。大多数参与者发现 CRAZI 会议令人疲倦和困难。休闲服装主导着装规范（71.1%），宠物也常见。“你能听到我吗”是一个常见的短语。描述了良好和不良行为，但缺少（58.7%）或不知道（21.9%）正式的 CRAZI 行为准则。76.6%的参与者观察到孩子打断了 CRAZI 会议，大多数父母是女性。尽管存在挑战，但大多数参与者（76.6%）支持疫情后视频会议，但对继续在家工作的偏好有所不同。
CRAZI 工作虽然令人疲倦，但培养了不同的工作实践，这些实践可能会在大流行后继续存在。在家与孩子一起工作为他人带来欢乐，但也给工作者带来了复杂性。宠物可能有助于主人和同事应对大流行。
