Background:
Nomophobia, the fear of being without a mobile phone, is increasingly prevalent among adolescents, leading to anxiety and behavioral disturbances. This study evaluates the effectiveness of art-based therapy in reducing nomophobia symptoms.
Objectives:
To assess the impact of art-based therapy on nomophobia levels among adolescents.
Methods:
A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 60 adolescents from selected junior colleges, randomly assigned to a study group (n=30) receiving 21 sessions of art-based therapy or a control group (n=30) completing pre- and post-tests only. Nomophobia levels were measured using the Nomophobia Scale before and after the intervention.
Results:
It is anticipated that the study group will show a significant reduction in nomophobia levels compared to the control group, demonstrating the therapeutic potential of art-based interventions.
Conclusion:
Art-based therapy may serve as an effective non-pharmacological intervention for adolescents experiencing mobile phone dependency, offering a structured approach to managing nomophobia.
