Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of nomophobia in university students.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted of the following databases: Web of Science/ Core Collection, Scopus, PubMed, Embase, and Ovid/ MEDLINE until March 2021. Cross-sectional studies reporting the prevalence of nomophobia in undergraduate or postgraduate university students that assessed nomophobia with the 20-item Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) tool were included. Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment were performed in duplicate. A meta-analysis of proportions was performed using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using sensitivity analysis according to the risk of bias, and subgrouping by country, sex, and major.

Results: We included 28 cross-sectional studies with a total of 11,300 participants from eight countries, of which 23 were included in the meta-analysis. The prevalence of mild nomophobia was 24% (95% confidence interval [CI], 20%-28%; I2 = 95.3%), that of moderate nomophobia was 56% (95% CI, 53%-60%; I2 = 91.2%), and that of severe nomophobia was 17% (95% CI, 15%-20%; I2 = 91.7%). Regarding countries, Indonesia had the highest prevalence of severe nomophobia (71%) and Germany had the lowest (3%). The prevalence was similar according to sex and major.

Conclusions: We found a high prevalence of moderate and severe nomophobia in university students. Interventions are needed to prevent and treat this problem in educational institutions.

大学生无手机恐惧症的流行:系统回顾与元分析。
目的:本研究的目的是评估大学生无手机恐惧症的患病率。方法:系统检索以下数据库:Web of Science/ Core Collection、Scopus、PubMed、Embase和Ovid/ MEDLINE,检索截止日期为2021年3月。横断面研究报告了大学生或研究生中无恐惧症的患病率,这些研究使用20项无恐惧症问卷(NMP-Q)工具评估了无恐惧症。研究选择、数据提取和偏倚风险评估一式两份。采用随机效应模型对比例进行meta分析。根据偏倚风险,并按国家、性别和专业进行亚分组,采用敏感性分析评估异质性。结果:我们纳入了28项横断面研究,共有来自8个国家的11,300名参与者,其中23项纳入了meta分析。轻度无手机恐惧症的患病率为24%(95%可信区间[CI], 20%-28%;I2 = 95.3%),中度无恐惧症为56% (95% CI, 53%-60%;I2 = 91.2%),重度无手机恐惧症为17% (95% CI, 15%-20%;I2 = 91.7%)。就国家而言,印度尼西亚的严重无恐惧症患病率最高(71%),德国最低(3%)。不同性别和专业的患病率相似。结论:我们发现大学生中中度和重度无手机恐惧症的患病率很高。需要采取干预措施来预防和治疗教育机构中的这一问题。
