Digital health and well-being: fostering healthy relationships with ICT

The document proposes a psychosocial and psychoeducational intervention aimed at promoting healthy relationships with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) among students, faculty, and staff at the Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa. It is based on the recognition that hyperconnectivity, excessive smartphone use, and constant exposure to digital environments are generating educational, physical, psychological, and social impacts that directly affect academic performance, mental health, and school coexistence. The proposal underscores the need to strengthen digital literacy from a well-being perspective, distinguishing between healthy use and misuse of ICT, and incorporating concepts such as digital self-regulation, digital resilience, digital hygiene, and netiquette. It is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 3 and 4) and the UAS Educational Model 2022, highlighting the relevance of a humanistic, constructivist, and learner-centered approach to education in the digital era. The concrete strategy consists of workshop-lectures designed for upper secondary and higher education students, as well as for faculty and staff, structured around phases of awareness, prevention, and coping. Through reflective activities, statistical data, analysis of everyday classroom challenges, and the application of a digital well-being decalogue and netiquette guidelines, the initiative seeks to raise awareness, promote self-care habits, and foster a balanced digital culture. These sessions are conceived as an institutional preventive strategy that strengthens socioemotional and digital competencies, contributing to the comprehensive development of the university community.
