Technostress affects the mental health of young adults in digitized educational environments, especially in contexts of high demands and low institutional support. Empirical evidence from Andean South America reveals digital overload, technological anxiety, and exhaustion among university students, teachers, and administrators. Lack of regulation and adaptive training exacerbates technostress, affecting psychological adjustment and quality of life. This policy brief proposes a regional roadmap to mitigate technostress through organizational redesign, psychometric assessment, and digital wellbeing policies. Concrete recommendations are presented for governments, educational communities, and employers.
