Abstract

In an era of pervasive digital connectivity, university students are increasingly exposed to prolonged screen time and continuous online engagement, which has raised concerns about its impact on mental health. This study explores the relationship between digital detoxification—the intentional reduction or abstinence from digital device usage—and the mental health of university students. Using a quantitate approach, the research surveyed 300 undergraduate students across multiple universities. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between regular digital detoxification and improved mental well-being, including reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. The study underscores the importance of promoting healthy digital habits and incorporating digital wellness programs in academic institutions to foster better mental health outcomes among students. Recommendations for implementing structured digital detox initiatives on campuses are discussed.
