Abstract:
Abstract:Cyberchondria is a growing mental health concern in the digital age, significantly impacting college students physical and psychological wellbeing as well as their daily functioning. The paper systematically reviews existing domestic and international literature to synthesize key aspects of cyberchondria among college students, including its conceptualization, measurement tools, prevalence, contributing factors, consequences, and intervention approaches. Building on the foundation, the study identifies critical gaps and proposes future research directions. By establishing a comprehensive theoretical framework, the work aims to inform subsequent studies and targeted interventions, ultimately supporting the promotion of mental and physical health among college students affected by cyberchondria.
