Abstract

Background: Digital life balance may be linked to occupational balance, social skills, and nomophobia (the fear of being without one's phone). Objectives: his study explored the relationship between digital life balance, occupational balance, social skills, and nomophobia among university students. Methodology: A total of 284 students (80.3% female; mean age = 20.44 ± 3.20) participated in this cross-sectional study. Participants completed scales assessing digital life balance, occupational balance, social skills, and nomophobia. Results: Digital life balance was positively correlated with occupational balance (r=0.472) and social skills (r=0.243), and negatively with nomophobia (r=-0.242). Regression analysis showed that occupational balance (p<.001) and four nomophobia dimensions were significantly associated variables (p<.05). Conclusion: Digital life balance in university students is influenced by occupational patterns and phone-related anxiety. Occupational therapy interventions aiming to enhance daily role balance, interpersonal skills, and reduce maladaptive digital habits may help support healthier digital engagement.
