Title

A STUDY TO ESTIMATE THE PREVALENCE OF NOMOPHOBIA AND ITS HEALTH IMPACT AMONG B.SC. NURSING STUDENTS AT SGRD COLLEGE OF NURSING, VALLAH, AMRITSAR.

Abstract

Nomophobia is a modern-day condition that affects young people and is defined as the fear of not being able to access and enjoy information via mobile devices. This study is conducted to estimate the prevalence of nomophobia and its health impact among B.Sc. nursing students. A descriptive study by enrolling 348 B.Sc. nursing students studying at Sri Guru Ram Das College of Nursing, Vallah, Amritsar. The selected setting was convenient for the study. The student enrolment was done by using a purposive sampling technique. A standardized Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) was used to estimate the prevalence of nomophobia and a self-structure checklist was used to identify its health impacts among B.Sc. nursing students. After the collection of the data from the study subjects, data analysis was done by descriptive and inferential statistics. Out of the 348, all were females (100%), mostly came from nuclear families and lived in hostel/P.G. 200 students have social media purposes for using the phone(57.5%). It showed that 51.1% of subjects were moderately and 39.4% were severe and only 9.5% were mildly nomophobic. The most common physiological health impact is reduced physical activity among nursing students, the psychological health impact was loneliness, and the psychosocial health impact was avoiding visiting friends and family. It shows that B.Sc. nursing 1st-year students (2 = 13.779, p = 0.032) and who are single by their marital status (2 = 12.011, p = 0.011) were significantly associated with nomophobia. Nursing students who see mobile phone less than 10 times/day (2 = 20.342, p = 0.002) and who use 2-3 numbers of apps in phone (2 = 17.908, p = 0.007) have significance. An informational booklet was also distributed among B.Sc. nursing students to provide them with awareness regarding nomophobia and related issues with proper management. Effective measures should be taken to prevent the prevalence of nomophobia and its health impacts as early as possible. Mental health nurses, psychologists, and psychiatrists must be aware to suggest the appropriate intervention timely.
