The Covid-19 pandemic has a psychological impact on women working from home after facing various challenges in order to meet the demands of work and responsibilities. Among the challenges faced by women is from a psychological point of view such as fatigue due to insufficient time in completing the tasks given by the employer. In addition, the workload also affects the imbalance in managing work and emotions. This article examines the psychological impact of women working from home (WFH) during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a qualitative design. Analysis of research findings based on interview data through a Round Table Discussion. The findings of the study show that women who work from home (WFH) have a heavy workload and have a psychological impact on women from a physical and mental point of view, quality of work, social network and religious support, economic, education and living. This study found that mental and physical health must be emphasized to balance the responsibilities that women bear. Therefore, this study needs to be further improved so that the psychological impact on women in Malaysia remains stable.
