To investigate which risk factors are strictly connected to nomophobia in Italian nurses, according to socio-demographic characteristics, Body Mass Index scores, physical activity habits, anxiety, and depression.
An "ad hoc" online questionnaire has been created and then administered to Italian nurses. Data include sex, age, years of work experience, shift work per day, nursing educational level, Body Mass Index, physical activity, anxiety, depression, and nomophobia conditions. Univariate logistic regression has been performed to explore what potential factors may contribute to the nomophobia condition.
A total of 430 nurses agree to participate. No respondents record severe nomophobia levels, as 308 (71.6%) register mild and 58 (13.5%) register moderate levels and 64 (14.9%) report no abnormal condition. Females seem to be more exposed than males to nomophobia (p < 0.001); nurses aged from 31 to 40 years and also with less than 10 years of work experience are more affected comparnig to the other sub groups (p < 0.001). Nurses who practice low physical activity report significant high levels in nomophobia (p < 0.001) and nurses reporting high anxiety levels also suffer from nomophobia (p < 0.001). The trend is inverse by considering depression condition since most of the nurses suffering from mild or moderate nomophobia levels report the absence of depression condition (p < 0.001). No statistical differences have been reported between nomophobia levels and shift work (p = 0.269), nursing educational level (p = 0.242), and BMI levels (p = 0.183). Anxiety and physical activity report strong relationships with nomophobia condition (p < 0.001).
Nomophobia may affect all individuals, especially young individuals. Although further studies on nurses will be implemented, including the workplace and training environments of nurses by allowing a clearer picture of the levels of "nomophobia" in general, as nomophobic behavior may have negative repercussions both in social and professional spheres.
根据人口统计学特征、体重指数评分、体育活动习惯、焦虑和抑郁情况，调查哪些风险因素与意大利护士的无手机恐惧症密切相关。
创建了一个“特定”的在线问卷，然后分发给意大利护士。数据包括性别、年龄、工作年限、每天轮班次数、护理教育水平、体重指数、体育活动、焦虑、抑郁和无手机恐惧症状况。进行单变量逻辑回归以探讨哪些潜在因素可能导致无手机恐惧症状况。
共有 430 名护士同意参与。没有受访者记录严重的无手机恐惧症程度，因为 308 名（71.6%）记录为轻度，58 名（13.5%）记录为中度，64 名（14.9%）报告无异常状况。女性似乎比男性更容易受到无手机恐惧症的影响（p < 0.001）；年龄在 31 至 40 岁之间且工作经验不足 10 年的护士与其他亚组相比受影响更大（p < 0.001）。体育活动水平较低的护士报告无手机恐惧症程度显著较高（p < 0.001），报告焦虑水平较高的护士也患有无手机恐惧症（p < 0.001）。考虑到轻度或中度无手机恐惧症程度的护士中大多数报告没有抑郁状况，这种趋势是相反的（p < 0.001）。无手机恐惧症水平与轮班工作（p = 0.269）、护理教育水平（p = 0.242）和 BMI 水平（p = 0.183）之间无统计学差异。焦虑和体育活动与无手机恐惧症状况密切相关（p < 0.001）。
无手机恐惧症可能会影响所有人，尤其是年轻人。尽管将对护士进行进一步研究，包括护士的工作场所和培训环境，以更清楚地了解一般的“无手机恐惧症”水平，但无手机恐惧症行为可能会对社交和职业领域产生负面影响。
