DOI: https://doi.org/The incorporation of digital technologies in higher education has changed the ways in which students access, process and use information. This study explores how digital skills influence the psychological well-being and academic performance of university students. Through a quantitative approach with a sample of 280 students from various Latin American institutions, a positive and significant relationship was identified between the level of digital competence, emotional balance and academic results. The findings suggest that fostering the development of digital competencies not only improves academic performance, but also promotes students' mental health.
