The interaction between people and advanced information and communication technologies results in behavioral addictions, one of them is nomophobia. In a health care setting, nurses constitute a significant proportion of healthcare workers. Therefore, discovering the level of nomophobia and its impact on constructs such as mindfulness and self-efficacy is very important as this might affect the psychological and physical well-being of nurses, which can impact the quality of patient care. The study aimed to assess the level of nomophobia and its relationship with mindfulness and self-efficacy of nurses.
An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 420 nurses were selected using a convenience sampling technique. Self-structured questionnaire was used to assess socio-demographic characteristics and mobile phone use. Standardized questionnaires were administered in pen and paper format for measuring nomophobia, mindfulness, and self-efficacy. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 was used. Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient and Chi-square test were employed to analyze the data.
The majority of nurses (99.5%) had nomophobia. About half of them (53.3%) had a moderate level of nomophobia. Nearly half of nurses had high level of mindfulness (52.6%) and self-efficacy (53.3%) respectively. Further, nomophobia was found to be negatively correlated with mindfulness (r = -0.289) and self-efficacy (r = -0.278).
Nomophobia poses a risk to the mindfulness and self-efficacy of nurses. Continuing education should focus on awareness programs emphasizing good practices in the use of current technologies.
人与先进的信息通信技术之间的相互作用会导致行为成瘾，其中之一就是无手机恐惧症。在医疗环境中，护士占医护人员的很大比例。因此，了解无手机恐惧症的程度及其对正念和自我效能等构念的影响非常重要，因为这可能会影响护士的心理和身体健康，进而影响患者护理质量。本研究旨在评估护士的无手机恐惧症程度及其与正念和自我效能的关系。
在一家三级护理医院进行了一项分析性横断面研究。采用便利抽样技术共选取了420名护士。使用自行编制的问卷评估社会人口学特征和手机使用情况。采用纸笔形式发放标准化问卷，以测量无手机恐惧症、正念和自我效能。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）20.0版。采用卡尔·皮尔逊相关系数和卡方检验对数据进行分析。
大多数护士（99.5%）患有无手机恐惧症。其中约一半（53.3%）的护士无手机恐惧症程度为中度。近一半的护士分别具有较高水平的正念（52.6%）和自我效能（53.3%）。此外，发现无手机恐惧症与正念（r = -0.289）和自我效能（r = -0.278）呈负相关。
无手机恐惧症对护士的正念和自我效能构成风险。继续教育应侧重于开展提高认识的项目，强调当前技术使用中的良好做法。
