Relationship between nomophobia, fear of missing out, and perceived work overload in nurses in Turkey

Purpose This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between nomophobia, fear of missing out (FoMO), and perceived work overload (PWO) among nurses in Turkey. Design and Methods This descriptive study was carried out with 178 nurses. In the study, the Nomophobia Questionnaire, FoMO scale, and PWO scale were used. Findings There was a positive and significant relationship between nomophobia, FoMO, and PWO variables. The nomophobia and FoMO independent variables accounted for 6% of the PWO‐dependent variable. Practice Implications Controlled use of smartphones and social media can contribute to the minimizing of the work overload perceived by nurses as a time pressure factor.
