The current level of health was the outcome variable. Technostress and academic stress were the criterion variables. Perceived social support was the mediator variable. The sociodemographic variables and ICT use at the educational level were the independent variables.ResultsWomen have higher levels of technostress and academic stress than men. Social support significantly and positively mediates the relationship between academic stress and self-perceived health in men.DiscussionThere is a clear need to develop new social management strategies that assist students in developing stable and long-lasting social networks, which can reduce stress during the student period and provide personal tools for later working life. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/B21-23R-GAIAP info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII-RICAPPS/RD21-0016-0005 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.6 2023 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 56 / 219 = 0.256 2023 Q2 T1 0.8 2023 Psychology (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 5.3 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Aguilar-Latorre, Alejandra Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-2683-7346 Masluk, Bárbara Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9887-2250 Gascón-Santos, Santiago Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3723-0673 Sánchez-Calavera, María Antonia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8756-114X Sánchez-Recio, Raquel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0078-0663 4009 740 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
