  • Abstract

    The increasing integration of social media into daily life has raised concerns regarding its impact on mental health, particularly among university students. This study provides a comprehensive review of the relationship between social media information access and student mental health within the evolving information society. Utilizing a Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis, the research synthesizes a substantial body of literature from internationally recognized databases to identify research trends, influential scholars, and key thematic areas. This approach allows for a structured evaluation of the field’s development while also identifying significant research gaps. Following a rigorous screening process, 60 international articles published in English from Scopus and 12 Vietnamese articles from Google Scholar were selected for in-depth content analysis. Selection criteria included citation indices, the academic impact of authors, and article relevance to the research topic. The findings indicate that most studies focus on issues such as social media overuse, anxiety disorders, depression, and social isolation, while emphasizing the role of education and psychological support in mitigating these effects. Despite extensive international research on this subject, a notable gap persists in the Vietnamese context. Although Vietnam has a high number of social media users, studies examining its effects on student mental health remain limited. Given Vietnam’s unique socio-cultural and educational landscape, further research is crucial to developing targeted intervention strategies. This study highlights the need for greater academic attention and calls for evidence-based policies and mental health support frameworks tailored to the Vietnamese higher education system.
