| Popis: | This study surveyed 384 Filipino college students on their digital device engagement, digital stress, and coping strategies. Findings revealed that students were heavily reliant on digital devices. They used digital devices for at least 15 minutes daily upon waking and before sleeping. They encountered significant digital stress, particularly from social media, online learning platforms, games, and video streaming. Facebook emerged as the most stress-inducing platform. While students felt a strong need for constant phone access, they seldom feared missing out on experiences. Students reported self-distraction and positive reframing as their coping strategies. Importantly, the study identified a positive correlation between digital device engagement and digital stress manifestation, emphasizing the adverse impact of extensive device use on stress levels among college students. The insights in this study may guide policymakers in developing policies that foster responsible and healthy technology use among youth, shaping the environment and resources available to them. |
