Primary outcomes

  1. Nomophobia Scale

    Time frame: Pre-test

    The scale, developed by Yıldırım and Correira (2015) and adapted to Turkish by Yıldırım et al. (2016), is itemized according to the 7-point Likert type. The scale consists of 20 items and is graded as 1 = strongly disagree, 7 = strongly agree. The total score of the scale is between 20-140. A score range of 0-20 indicates that the individual does not have nomophobia, a score range of 21-60 indicates that the individual has a low level of nomophobia, a score range of 61-100 indicates that the individual has a moderate level of nomophobia, and a score range of 101-140 indicates that the individual has a high level of nomophobia.

  2. Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form

    Time frame: Pre-test

    The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Noyan et al. (2015). The scale consisting of 10 questions is evaluated with a 6-point Likert scale. Scale items are graded as "(1) Strongly disagree, (2) Disagree, (3) Partially disagree, (4) Partially agree, (5) Agree, (6) Strongly agree." The total score of the scale varies between 10 and 60, and scores above 32 indicate smartphone addiction.

  3. Nomophobia Scale

    Time frame: 6 weeks after pre-test

    The scale, developed by Yıldırım and Correira (2015) and adapted to Turkish by Yıldırım et al. (2016), is itemized according to the 7-point Likert type. The scale consists of 20 items and is graded as 1 = strongly disagree, 7 = strongly agree. The total score of the scale is between 20-140. A score range of 0-20 indicates that the individual does not have nomophobia, a score range of 21-60 indicates that the individual has a low level of nomophobia, a score range of 61-100 indicates that the individual has a moderate level of nomophobia, and a score range of 101-140 indicates that the individual has a high level of nomophobia.
