Abstract

Perkembangan media sosial telah mengubah pola komunikasi dan interaksi mahasiswa, sekaligus memberikan dampak terhadap kesehatan mental. Meskipun media sosial mendukung akses informasi, pembelajaran, dan hubungan sosial, penggunaannya yang berlebihan berpotensi meningkatkan risiko stres, kecemasan, depresi, gangguan tidur, serta kecanduan media sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji hubungan penggunaan media sosial dengan kesehatan mental mahasiswa melalui pendekatan narrative literature review. Penelusuran literatur dilakukan pada basis data Google Scholar, PubMed, dan ScienceDirect terhadap artikel yang diterbitkan pada periode 2020–2025. Sebanyak 20 artikel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk mengidentifikasi pola temuan yang konsisten. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa intensitas penggunaan media sosial yang tinggi, social comparison, paparan konten negatif, dan problematic social media use berhubungan dengan meningkatnya risiko gangguan kesehatan mental pada mahasiswa. Sebaliknya, penggunaan media sosial yang adaptif berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan dukungan sosial, akses informasi kesehatan, dan kualitas hubungan interpersonal. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa dampak media sosial ditentukan oleh pola dan tujuan penggunaan serta kemampuan individu dalam mengelola aktivitas digital. Oleh karena itu, peningkatan literasi digital dan promosi kesehatan mental di perguruan tinggi diperlukan untuk mendorong penggunaan media sosial yang sehat dan bertanggung jawab.
