Özet:

 Objective: The connection between adult separation anxiety disorder ASAD and nomophobia has been poorly investigated. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is a relationship between ASAD and nomophobia. Method: The sample consisted of 68 university students diagnosed with ASAD and 77 university students without ASAD. All participants were evaluated by a structured clinical interview, Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire ASA, Separation Anxiety Symptom Inventory SASI, Nomophobia Questionnaire NMP-Q, and Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version SAS-SV. Result: Participants with ASAD had longer daily phone usage times and had a higher frequency of checking the phone during the day and the rates of carrying a charger than controls. Compared to the control group, participants with ASAD had significantly higher ASA, SASI, NMP-Q, and SAS-SV scores and more severe nomophobia levels. The ASA scores were significantly positively correlated with SASI, NMP-Q, and SAS-SV. Regarding predictors of nomophobia, ASA, SASI, and SAS-SV scores had a positive and significant effect on nomophobia, and predicted nomophobia. Conclusion: Our research adds to the body of knowledge on nomophobia by demonstrating that people with ASAD are susceptible to developing nomophobia. Clinicians should be aware of the association between ASAD and nomophobia, and nomophobia may be an important concept that should be considered in the therapy approach to patients with ASAD.

 Amaç: Yetişkin ayrılma anksiyetesi bozukluğu YAAB ile nomofobi arasındaki bağlantı yeterince araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, YAAB ile nomofobi arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını değerlendirmektir. Metod: Örneklem, YAAB tanısı konmuş 68 üniversite öğrencisi ve YAAB olmayan 77 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Tüm katılımcılar yapılandırılmış klinik görüşme, Yetişkin Ayrılık Anksiyetesi Anketi YAAA, Ayrılık Anksiyetesi Belirti Envanteri AABE, Nomofobi Anketi NMP-Q ve Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği-Kısa Versiyonu ATBÖ-KF ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: YAAB olan katılımcıların günlük telefon kullanım süreleri daha uzundu ve gün içinde telefonlarını kontrol etme sıklıkları ve şarj aleti taşıma oranları kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksekti. Kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırıldığında, YAAB olan katılımcıların YAAA, AABE, NMP-Q ve ATBÖ-KF puanları anlamlı derecede yüksek ve nomofobi düzeyleri daha şiddetliydi. YAAA puanları AABE, NMP-Q ve ATBÖ-KF ile anlamlı derecede pozitif korelasyon göstermiştir. Nomofobinin öngörücüleri açısından YAAA, AABE ve S ATBÖ-KF skorları nomofobi üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahipti ve nomofobiyi öngörüyordu. Sonuç: Araştırmamız, YAAB olan kişilerin nomofobi geliştirmeye yatkın olduğunu göstererek nomofobi hakkındaki bilgi birikimine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Klinisyenler, YAAB ve nomofobi arasındaki ilişkinin farkında olmalıdır ve nomofobi, YAAB hastalarına terapi yaklaşımında dikkate alınması gereken önemli bir kavram olabilir.
