The questionnaire items were validated by experts and tested using the Dick & Carey, 2015 development model and the distribution of the questionnaire was carried out online with a total of 384 student respondents. Research showed that the health aspect of internet addiction students was 74.5%, impact on social was 61.8%, digital well-being was 80.8%, social comparison was 70, 7%, digital mental health at 68.1%, and fear of missing out at 76.2%, based on these aspects it was in the high category, while the aspect of worry about being a victim of cyberbullying was 48.6% in the low category. Health students were not yet fully equipped with soft skills in mastering technology, especially digital literacy, so they cannot detect early the negative impact of digital on their mental health as potential health workers professional.
