In the pandemic, along with distance education, nursing students' smartphone and internet usage habits have changed and their duration has been extended. However, the effect of this situation on problems that may develop due to excessive/inappropriate use of smartphones and the internet such as nomophobia, netlessphobia, fear of missing out is unknown. This study was conducted to measure nursing students' nomophobia, netlessphobia, and fear of missing out levels and identify the correlations between them.
This descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted on 802 students studying in 3 nursing faculties between November 2021 and February 2022. Introductory Information Form, Nomophobia Questionnaire, Fırat Netlessphobia Scale and Fear of Missing Out Scale were used to collect the data.
The nursing students used their smartphones for 5.13 ± 2.26 h on average per day and used internet from their smartphones for 4.65 ± 2.74 h. They considered themselves as partly smartphone addicts and they were active users on social media platforms such as WhatsApp (97.3 %) or Instagram (82.2 %). The students' nomophobia mean score was 2.98 ± 0.78, their netlessphobia mean score was 2.53 ± 0.87, and their fear of missing out mean score was 2.18 ± 0.80. Netlessphobia alone accounted for 44.4 % of nomophobia and there was a positive and moderate correlation between them (r = 0.666; p < .001). Fear of missing out alone accounted for 18.5 % of nomophobia and there was a positive and moderate correlation between them (r = 0.430; p < .001). Both of them affected nomophobia by 45.4 %.
Despite the increase in the digital activities of nursing students in the distance education process, it is positive that the netlessphobia and fear of missing out scores are low. However, higher nomophobia scores and strong relationships between concepts require being aware of possible problems, monitoring and taking precautions.
在疫情期间，随着远程教育的开展，护生的智能手机和互联网使用习惯发生了变化，使用时间也延长了。然而，这种情况对过度/不当使用智能手机和互联网可能导致的问题（如手机依赖症、网络恐惧症、错失恐惧症）的影响尚不清楚。本研究旨在测量护生的手机依赖症、网络恐惧症和错失恐惧症水平，并确定它们之间的相关性。
这是一项描述性、相关性和横断面研究，于 2021 年 11 月至 2022 年 2 月在 3 所护理学院的 802 名学生中进行。使用一般资料表、手机依赖症问卷、费拉特网络恐惧症量表和错失恐惧症量表收集数据。
护生平均每天使用智能手机 5.13±2.26 小时，使用智能手机上网 4.65±2.74 小时。他们认为自己是部分智能手机成瘾者，并且是 WhatsApp（97.3%）或 Instagram（82.2%）等社交媒体平台的活跃用户。学生的手机依赖症平均得分为 2.98±0.78，网络恐惧症平均得分为 2.53±0.87，错失恐惧症平均得分为 2.18±0.80。网络恐惧症单独占手机依赖症的 44.4%，两者之间呈正相关且中度相关（r=0.666；p<0.001）。错失恐惧症单独占手机依赖症的 18.5%，两者之间呈正相关且中度相关（r=0.430；p<0.001）。两者共同影响手机依赖症的 45.4%。
尽管在远程教育过程中护生的数字活动有所增加，但网络恐惧症和错失恐惧症得分较低是积极的。然而，较高的手机依赖症得分和概念之间的强相关性需要引起注意，以监测和预防可能出现的问题。
