هدف: این مطالعه با هدف بررسی شیوع و همبستههای نوموفوبیا در میان دانشجویان دانشگاه در زیمبابوه انجام شد. این مطالعه همبستگی نوموفوبیا با عوامل جمعیتشناختی (سن، جنسیت، سال تحصیلی) و مشارکت در رسانههای اجتماعی را بررسی کرد.
روش: این مطالعه از طرح همبستگی کمی با نمونهگیری آسان از ۱۷۶ دانشجو در یک دانشگاه زیمبابوه استفاده کرد. شرکتکنندگان یک نظرسنجی آنلاین شامل پرسشنامه جمعیتشناختی، پرسشنامه درگیری شبکه اجتماعی دیجیتال (DSNE-Q) و پرسشنامه نوموفوبیا (NMP-Q) را تکمیل کردند. تحلیل دادهها با استفاده از آمار توصیفی، ضریب همبستگی پیرسون و آزمون کایدو انجام شد.
نتایج: شیوع نوموفوبیا بالا بود، بهطوریکه ۵۱.۱٪ از شرکتکنندگان علائم شدید را گزارش کردند و میانگین نمره کلی در سطح متوسط بود. سن و جنسیت ارتباط معناداری با نوموفوبیا نداشتند. با این حال، سال تحصیلی دانشجویان ارتباط معناداری با شدت نوموفوبیا در شبکههای اجتماعی داشت (χ2(9) = 22.5, p =.007). علاوه بر این، درگیری با شبکههای اجتماعی همبستگی مثبت و معناداری با نوموفوبیا داشت (r = .39, p ˂ .001).
نتیجهگیری: نوموفوبیا یک نگرانی شایع در میان دانشجویان دانشگاه زیمبابوه است و ارتباط قوی با سطوح بالاتر تعامل در رسانههای اجتماعی و سال تحصیلی دارد. این مطالعه بر لزوم مداخلاتی برای ترویج عادات دیجیتال سالمتر و استراتژیهای مقابلهای انطباقی در میان دانشجویان تأکید میکند.
