Aim: It is known that nomophobia, which occurs as a result of phone addiction, causes individuals to experience more anxiety, depression and sleep problems than usual, and their quality of life and work performance are adversely affected. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of nurses exhibiting nomophobic behaviors on their care behaviors.
Material and Methods: This research was conducted in a descriptive and relationship-seeking type. The minimum sample volume to be reached was calculated as 270 according to the known sample formula. The study was conducted with 284 nurses working in intensive care units. The research data were collected with Google Forms in February-May 2022. Introductory information form, Nomophobia Scale Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 were used to collect data.
Results: Nomophobia scores were moderate with 90.09±28.47, and caring behaviors scores were high with 124.05±18.49. A low negative correlation (r=-0.178, p<0.01) was found between the total score of the Nomophobia and the total score of caring behaviors.
Conclusions: In this research, it was found that nurses’ nomophobic behaviors affected their caring behaviors negatively. To eliminate the negative effect of nomophobia on caring behaviors, we recommend that the awareness of intensive care nurses about phone dependency and the effects of this dependency be raised.
