Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between nomophobia and fear of missing out with academic performance among nursing students.
Method: This cross-sectional research was performed with students in the nursing department of a health sciences faculty in a university in Turkey. The study was completed with 241 participants attending the nursing department. Data were collected with the descriptive survey form, nomophobia questionnaire (NMP-Q), and fear of missing out scale (FoMOs)..
Results: The research determined that nursing students had mean NMP-Q (73.82±21.27) and FoMOs (21.36±6.93) points at average levels. The model in the research was significant and the variables of gender and income explained 17% of general point average (GPA). Accordingly, GPA was lower by 2.4 points for men and by 0.9 points for those whose income did not match their expenditure
Conclusion: The study identified that NMP-Q and FoMOs points were at moderate levels and these did not have an effect on the academic success level of nursing students. However, considering the seriousness of problems created by increasing technology use and digital problems currently, taking precautionary measures against these problems will be an effective intervention.

Nomofobi̇, Gelişmeleri̇ Kaçırma Korkusu ve Akademik Başarı Arasındaki̇ İlişki̇

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı hemşirelik öğrencilerinde nomofobi ve sosyal gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu ile akademik performans arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de bir üniversitenin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinde yürütülen kesitsel bir araştırmadır. Çalışma, Hemşirelik bölümünde eğitim gören 241 katılımcı ile tamamlanmıştır. Veriler; Tanıtıcı Anket Formu, Nomofobi Ölçeği (NMP-Q), Sosyal Gelişmeleri Kaçırma Korkusu Ölçeği (FoMOs) ile toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmada hemşirelik öğrencilerinin NMP-Q (73.82±21.27) ve FoMOs (21.36±6.93) puan ortalamalarının orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırmadaki model anlamlı olup değişkenlerden cinsiyet ve gelir durumu, genel puan ortalamasının (GPO) %17’sini açıklamaktadır. Buna göre GPO; erkeklerde 2.4 puan, gelir giderini karşılamayanlarda 0.9 puan daha düşüktür.
Sonuç: Çalışmada NMP-Q ve FoMOs puanlarının orta düzeyde olduğu ve bunların hemşirelik öğrencilerinin akademik başarı düzeyi üzerinde etkili olmadığı saptanmıştır. Ancak günümüzde artan teknoloji kullanımı ve dijital sorunların yarattığı problemlerin ciddiyeti düşünüldüğünde, bu sorunlara karşı önceden tedbir alınmasının etkili bir müdahale olacağı düşünülmektedir.
