Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the nomophobia levels of the students in the department of surgery services during the COVID-19 pandemic period.Method: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 106 students studying in the Department of Surgery Services at a university in the Western Black Sea Region in the 2020-2021 academic year. Data were collected with the "Personal Descriptive Information Form" and the "Nomophobia Scale".Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 20,02±1,10, 87,7% of students were female, all of students were single, and 58,5% were first year students. During the COVID-19 pandemic, 92,5% of the students stated that there was an increase in the daily phone usage time, and 73,6% stated they were uncomfortable with this increase. It was determined that the total score of the students on the Nomophobia Scale was 83,14±26,82, the highest score among the sub-dimensions was the inability to communicate (27,61±10,48), and 51,9% of students had moderate nomophobia.Conclusions: Although there has been an increase in the duration of smartphone use during the COVID-19 pandemic period, it has been determined that students are moderately nomophobic. It is recommended to plan interventions in order to be aware of the fact that students are at a risk of nomophobia during the pandemic process and to prevent phone addiction.
