Nomophobia (phobia of disconnection from smartphones) has a serious impact on social and mental problems in society, so it is important to measure the high number of nomophobia as an effort to anticipate more serious societal problems. This study aims to determine the level of nomophobia among college students. This research method uses a survey approach conducted on 123 students in West Java. To find out the level of nomophobia among college students, descriptive statistical analysis was applied. The results of the analysis show that most students have a high dependence on smartphones, the level of nomophobia among students, most students are in the moderate and severe categories. The most severe dimension of nomophobia experienced by students is the fear of not being able to communicate and losing connectedness. These findings indicate that the current condition of students is quite apprehensive in terms of their dependence on smartphones. This dependence can have an impact on mental disorders as well as other social problems. Therefore, parents or policy makers need to make regulations or rules that limit smartphone dependency among students (or children in the context of parents).

Future Research

Berdasarkan penelitian ini, terdapat beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan yang dapat dikembangkan. Pertama, penelitian selanjutnya dapat mengeksplorasi faktor-faktor psikologis dan sosial yang mendasari nomophobia pada mahasiswa, seperti tingkat stres, dukungan sosial, dan citra diri. Hal ini penting untuk memahami mekanisme yang menyebabkan mahasiswa menjadi rentan terhadap nomophobia. Kedua, penelitian dapat difokuskan pada pengembangan intervensi yang efektif untuk mengurangi nomophobia, seperti program konseling, pelatihan keterampilan manajemen diri, atau penggunaan aplikasi yang membatasi penggunaan smartphone. Intervensi ini dapat membantu mahasiswa untuk mengelola ketergantungan mereka pada smartphone dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan mental mereka. Ketiga, penelitian dapat dilakukan untuk menginvestigasi hubungan antara nomophobia dan kinerja akademik mahasiswa. Apakah terdapat korelasi antara tingkat nomophobia dengan prestasi belajar, konsentrasi, atau motivasi belajar? Pemahaman ini dapat memberikan informasi penting bagi para pendidik dan pemangku kepentingan lainnya dalam upaya meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan.
