Abstract
Objective: The study aimed to determine whether there was any correlation between self-perception of text message dependency and perceived stress among university students in Pakistan. Methodology: A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted in the form of an online survey through Google forms and analyzed using IBM-SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 28. Results: The regression analysis of data yielded that only 2 parameters of STDS were significant in correspondence with PSS. The p- values for all other parameters were insignificant and implied no correlation. Conclusion: Students who send text messages while engaging in a conversation with another person and students who often check the mailbox to see if they have a new text message are more likely to suffer from stress.
