The sample of the study consisted of 400 young people living in rural districts of Bursa province in Turkey. The results show that 8.5% of the youth was severely nomophobic, 71.5% were moderate and 20.0% were mildly nomophobic. There was no statistically significant difference between gender and working status and nomophobia level but statistically significant differences were encountered between age and educational status. As young people's age increased, the levels of nomophobia they suffer decreased. They asserted a higher level of nomophobia during high school years. Despite a slight decrease in university years, students' nomophobia levels were higher than the graduates and working youth. When the sub-dimensions of the scale were examined, the 'avoidance' and 'conflict' factors were above the NoSmartPhone Scale (NSPS) mean score, but the interwind identity and attachment factors were below the mean score.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNomophobiaSmartphone usageSocial media addictionAdolescentsRural residenceCellular phoneMobile phoneAddictonHealth care sciences & servicesPublic, environmental & occupational healthPsychiatryAdolescentHumansPhobic disordersPrevalenceStudentsSurveys and questionnairesTurkeyArticle0005054246000012-s2.0-8507762134481482256531902048Health policy & servicesPublic, environmental & occupational healthPsychiatryInternet Use; Addiction; GamingAdolescentEpidemiologyHumanPhobiaPrevalenceQuestionnaireStudentTurkey (bird)
