Menjaga Kesehatan Mental di Era Digital: Tantangan dan Solusi

Abstract

This research explores the relationship between the use of digital technology and its impact on mental health and the challenges individuals face in balancing technology and psychological well-being. The variables considered in this study include the use of social media and digital technology, online behavior, psychological impact, and efforts to address related mental health issues. Inclusion criteria included articles published between 2018-2024, available online, and of direct relevance to the topic of this study. Exclusion criteria included articles that were not freely available or subscribed, not directly related to the research. The study results show that, although technology provides easy access to information, excessive consumption can contribute to stress, anxiety and other mental disorders. In this context, it is important to recognize that digital technologies are not just tools or means to an end, but also have significant social, economic, political and health impacts. In addition, responsible use of digital technology also involves many important aspects, such as protecting privacy and data security, avoiding the spread of false information or hoaxes
