Abstract
This mixed methods study describes the impact of screen-based media (SBM) on the occupational performance of university students. Ten university students who attend Stanbridge University participated in this study. Semi-structured Zoom interviews, weekly screen-time, the Occupational Self-Assessment Short Form (OSA-SF), and the Media and Technology Usage and Attitudes Scale (MTUAS) were utilized for data collection. Three main themes emerged from qualitative data analysis: (1) Being a Successful Adult, (2) Mental Health, and (3) Self-Control. The findings of this study suggest that occupational balance while utilizing SBM is important to university students. These students are conscious of the negative impact that SBM may have on their occupational performance, but all agree that SBM has a positive impact on their life.
