Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Nomophobia Scale (NO) for the 9-18 Age Group

The Nomophobia Scale developed by Yıldırım and Correia (2015) is a Likert-type measure that assesses the level of fear experienced by children when they do not have access to their cell phones. The validity and reliability of the scale were studied by Özdemir and Bektaş (2020). The scale consists of 20 items. It is a 7-point Likert-type scale (1: Strongly disagree; 7: Strongly agree). The scale has four subscales: inability to access information, giving up comfort, inability to communicate, and loss of online connection. A score of 20 on the scale indicates no nomophobia, 21 ≤ NÖ Score \< 60 indicates mild nomophobia, 60 ≤ NÖ Score \< 100 indicates moderate nomophobia, and 100 ≤ NÖ Score ≤ 140 indicates severe nomophobia. The scale ranges from a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 140 points. As the score increases, the level of nomophobia increases. Individuals who score 61 or higher on the raw score can be classified as having 'severe or moderate' nomophobia.

Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 10 weeks.
