Consequences of COVID-19 infection on educators' executive functions: A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a direct impact on social life and workplace, impairing work performance due to social and health difficulties, including cardiorespiratory issues, vascular damage, and cognitive deficits. Moreover, infection can impair cognitive functioning, particularly executive functions, which are essential skills for developing activities that require the application and management of concepts, such as those required in a educator's work.
