Özet

Amaç: Nomofobi, birey mobil cihazına erişemediğinde veya mobil cihaz üzerinde iletişim kuramadığında, bireyin yaşadığı istemsiz korku olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu araştırmada Fırat Üniversitesi İnsani ve Sosyal Bilimler Fakültesi Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı ile Batı Dilleri ve Edebiyatları Bölümleri’ndeki birinci ve dördüncü sınıftaki öğrencilerde nomofobi ve ilişkili faktörlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipte bir araştırmadır. Sosyo-demografik özellikler ve akıllı telefon kullanımı ile ilgili sorular ve nomofobi ölçeğinin yer aldığı bir anket formu uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Üç yüz yirmi beş öğrenciye ulaşılmıştır. Öğrencilerin %69,2’si kadın olup, tüm öğrencilerin yaş ortalamaları 21,06±3,54'tür. Öğrencilerin, Nomofobi ölçeği puanı 73,21±26,60 olarak saptanmıştır. Nomofobi ölçeği puanlarına göre cinsiyetler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Yanında şarj aleti taşıyanların, yatmadan önce akıllı telefonla zaman geçirenlerin, uyanır uyanmaz akıllı telefonunu kontrol edenlerin daha yüksek nomofobi ölçeği puanına sahip olduğu bulunmuştur (p
