Abstract

Nowadays, smartphones are ubiquitous. People spend many hours daily on their smartphones or other digital gadgets. Unlike other electronic devices, smartphones enable such functions almost anytime and anywhere, with numerous consequences for our daily lives. Surfing social network sites or instant messaging can impair well-being and is related to clinical phenomena like depression. The proliferation of social networking platforms has resulted in a rise in usage frequency among young adults. Digital detox interventions have been suggested as a solution to reduce the negative impacts of smartphone use on outcomes like well-being or social relationships. Keeping in touch with their smartphones during lectures hinders students' learning experience. The primary objective of this study is to assess how digital detoxification affects student learning within higher education establishments. The research also delves into the prevalence of digital detoxification among university students, shedding light on their comprehension of social media detox and potential mental health consequences.
