In this study we seek to find if there is a relation between nomophobia level, self-esteem and mental health status, and discover whether a counseling intervention based on health belief model merged with smart phone-based action cues will decrease the level of nomophobia in participants with severe nomophobia. through an intervention based on health belief model merged with multiple smart phone action cues employed on the intervention group during 3 counselling sessions

Study the effect of the counseling program on severe nomophobia score among participants in the intervention group.
apply the counseling program and reassess the nomophobia level post-intervention by using the nomophobia questionnaire developed by Yildirim \& Correia (2015). With a total of twenty statements on the questionnaire, responses were recorded on a 7-point Likert scale, with 7 representing strongly agree and 1 representing strongly disagree. The lack of nomophobia corresponded to a score of 20. Mild nomophobia was indicated by questionnaire scores ranging from 21 ≤ to \< 60. On the other hand, scores between 60 and less than 100 suggested a moderate level of nomophobia, while scores between 100 and 140 indicated a severe level of nomophobia
Time frame: 18 months
Compare the level of nomophobia between intervention and control group post intervention.
apply the counseling program and comparing the nomophobia score with the control group post intervention at same time frame, by using the nomophobia questionnaire developed by (Yildirim \& Correia, 2015) where severe nomophobes are those with a score above 100, comparing the post counseling sessions score between the intervention or the control group whether there was a significant decline in the nomophobia score.
Time frame: 24 months
correlation between nomophobia scores, self-esteem scores and mental health scores
pre and post intervention nomophobia scores using the nomophobia questionnaire were correlated to the self-esteem scores using state self esteem questionnaire with r value expressed to show whether the correlation is positive or negative and it's strength. as well the nomophobia scores using nomophobia questionnaire were correlated to the mental health scores using the mental health inventory questionnaire, where positive r indicates positive correlation and negative r indicates an inverse correlation, the strength of the correlation is determined by the value of r.
