The impact of online learning during COVID-19 is still being felt today, with the emergence of mental health issues. Individual mental health issues due to the inability to absorb information from ever-changing technology cause individuals to experience digital stress. Digital stress arises from an individual's inability to interact with technology in a healthy way. This study aimed to identify the digital stress profile at State Islamic Senior High School (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri) in Magetan and differences in digital stress between males and females. This quantitative study used a survey design to determine students' digital stress profile and differences between males and females. A sample of 298 students was obtained using stratified random sampling. Data collection used a digital stress scale, and data analysis used descriptive analysis and a Wilcoxon test. The results showed that students' digital stress levels were in the high, even very high, category, with approval anxiety being more frequently experienced by students than fear of missing out. However, the study found no differences in digital stress between males and females. Keywords: approval anxiety, digital resilience, digital stress, gender, Islamic senior high school
