The Government’s Role in Technology and Its Impact on Mental Health: A Health Law Perspective
Abstract
Introduction: In this study, we aimed to analyse the government's role in technological development and its effect on mental health within the context of the perspective of health law. With the rapid development of technology, our objective was to analyse the government's role in technological development and its effect on mental health from the perspective of health law to address gaps identified in existing literature.
Methods: This qualitative approach involved using secondary data analysis conducted across literature reviews, legislation, and previous research findings. A total of scientific literature, research reports, laws and regulations, and official government documents were enrolled, and data were collected through by identifying relevant regulations, evaluating policy implementation, and reviewing research results related to the impact of technology on mental health.
Results: The primary outcome of the study was indicate that although the government has regulated certain aspects through laws such as the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE), the existing regulations still have shortcomings, particularly in addressing phenomena such as cyberbullying, and therefore, strengthening the legal framework for health is necessary to protect the mental health of the public in the digital era. Additionally, the development of digital technology has affected various aspects of life, including mental health.
Conclusion: In conclusion, our study contributes to the understanding of the role of technology in mental health by not only increasing accessibility but also changing the perspective on understanding and addressing mental health challenges. This research provides insights into develop and integrate technological solutions.
