Background:

Problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) is a growing public health concern, with increasing prevalence among nurses.
Nurses' PMPU poses risks to individual well-being and patient care.
Understanding PMPU in nursing is critical for developing targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review and synthesize existing knowledge on problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) among nurses.
To identify the consequences of PMPU on nurses' health and clinical practice.
To explore strategies for addressing PMPU in the nursing profession.

Main Methods:

A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines.
Searches were performed across four electronic databases, supplemented by manual reference list searches.
Study selection, data extraction, and quality appraisal (using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool) were conducted by two independent reviewers.

Main Results:

Sixteen studies, predominantly cross-sectional and descriptive, were included in the review.
Identified risk factors contribute to PMPU among nurses.
Negative consequences include detrimental effects on nurses' mental and physical health, and clinical work.

Conclusions:

Problematic mobile phone use significantly impairs nurses' mental and physical health.
Nurses' PMPU adversely affects their performance within the clinical setting.
Nursing managers should develop and implement strategies to prevent and mitigate PMPU, promoting appropriate mobile phone use in clinical environments.
