This study aims to (1) map the evolution of digital stress research via bibliometric and scientometric analyses; (2) quantify measurement consistency through a meta-analysis of the Digital Stress Scale (DSS); and (3) synthesize thematic trends to clarify the construct's boundaries. A multi-method review was conducted, integrating bibliometric analysis of 215 documents (Scopus\/WoS), Google Ngram analysis, a random-effects meta-analysis of 10 DSS studies (n = 8572), and a thematic analysis of keyword co-occurrence. Bibliometrics and Ngram analysis show the field is maturing, with publications rising sharply post-2020, distinguishing it from 'technostress.' The construct evolved from biomedical\/engineering uses to a psychosocial concept linked to 'social media' and 'mental health.' The meta-analysis found a moderate pooled mean stress level (2.45 on a 1-5 scale, 95% CI: 2.12-2.78), falling within the 'average' range of U.S. norms. High heterogeneity (I<sup>2<\/sup> = 99.7%) confirmed that cultural and contextual factors significantly moderate stress levels. Thematic analysis identified four key dimensions: conceptual ambiguity, contextual moderators, the digital transformation paradox, and digital well-being. Digital stress is a distinct, multidimensional construct encompassing social-evaluative pressures beyond original technostress models. This review consolidates its theoretical boundaries and confirms the DSS's psychometric consistency, highlighting digital stress as a critical, context-dependent factor in human adaptation to technology."]},"AuthorList":{"@attributes":{"CompleteYN":"Y"},"Author":[{"@attributes":{"ValidYN":"Y"},"LastName":"Almakrob","ForeName":"Ahmed Yahya","Initials":"AY","AffiliationInfo":[{"Affiliation":"Department of English Language and Literature, College of Sciences and Humanities, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Al-Kharj 16278, Saudi Arabia."}]},{"@attributes":{"ValidYN":"Y"},"LastName":"Alduais","ForeName":"Ahmed","Initials":"A","Identifier":[{"@attributes":{"Source":"ORCID"},"@text":"0000-0003-0837-4915"}],"AffiliationInfo":[{"Affiliation":"Department of Psychology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7034 Trondheim, Norway."}]}]},"Language":["eng"],"GrantList":{"@attributes":{"CompleteYN":"Y"},"Grant":[{"GrantID":"PSAU\/2025\/03\/34254","Agency":"Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University","Country":""}]},"PublicationTypeList":{"PublicationType":[{"@attributes":{"UI":"D016428"},"@text":"Journal Article"},{"@attributes":{"UI":"D016454"},"@text":"Review"}]},"ArticleDate":[{"@attributes":{"DateType":"Electronic"},"Year":"2026","Month":"03","Day":"23"}]},"MedlineJournalInfo":{"Country":"Switzerland","MedlineTA":"Healthcare (Basel)","NlmUniqueID":"101666525","ISSNLinking":"2227-9032"},"KeywordList":[{"@attributes":{"Owner":"NOTNLM"},"Keyword":[{"@attributes":{"MajorTopicYN":"N"},"@text":"Digital Stress Scale"},{"@attributes":{"MajorTopicYN":"N"},"@text":"bibliometric analysis"},{"@attributes":{"MajorTopicYN":"N"},"@text":"digital stress"},{"@attributes":{"MajorTopicYN":"N"},"@text":"digital well-being"},{"@attributes":{"MajorTopicYN":"N"},"@text":"meta-analysis"},{"@attributes":{"MajorTopicYN":"N"},"@text":"scientometrics"},{"@attributes":{"MajorTopicYN":"N"},"@text":"technostress"}]}],"CoiStatement":"The authors declare no conflicts of interest."},"PubmedData":{"History":{"PubMedPubDate":[{"@attributes":{"PubStatus":"received"},"Year":"2026","Month":"2","Day":"17"},{"@attributes":{"PubStatus":"revised"},"Year":"2026","Month":"3","Day":"12"},{"@attributes":{"PubStatus":"accepted"},"Year":"2026","Month":"3","Day":"18"},{"@attributes":{"PubStatus":"medline"},"Year":"2026","Month":"3","Day":"28","Hour":"6","Minute":"41"},{"@attributes":{"PubStatus":"pubmed"},"Year":"2026","Month":"3","Day":"28","Hour":"6","Minute":"40"},{"@attributes":{"PubStatus":"entrez"},"Year":"2026","Month":"3","Day":"28","Hour":"1","Minute":"18"},{"@attributes":{"PubStatus":"pmc-release"},"Year":"2026","Month":"3","Day":"23"}]},"PublicationStatus":"epublish","ArticleIdList":{"ArticleId":[{"@attributes":{"IdType":"pubmed"},"@text":"41897276"},{"@attributes":{"IdType":"pmc"},"@text":"PMC13027238"},{"@attributes":{"IdType":"doi"},"@text":"10.3390\/healthcare14060823"},{"@attributes":{"IdType":"pii"},"@text":"healthcare14060823"}]},"ReferenceList":[{"Reference":[{"Citation":"Hall J.A., Steele R.G., Christofferson J.L., Mihailova T.
