        abstract = {Background: Nomophobia, or "no-mobile-phone phobia," is an emerging psychological condition marked by anxiety of being disconnected from one’s mobile phone. With smart phones serving as essential tools for communication, information, and social interaction, excessive dependence has raised concerns especially among young adults and nursing students.
Aim: To assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on enhancing knowledge regarding Nomophobia and its prevention among B.Sc. Nursing students.
Objective: 1. To assess the pre-test knowledge regarding nomophobia and it’s prevention.
2. To administer a structured teaching programme on Nomophobia.
3. To assess the post-test knowledge regarding Nomophobia.
4. To evaluate the effectiveness of the structured teaching programme.
5. To find the association between post-test knowledge and selected demographic variables.
Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was utilized. 60 nursing students, selected via purposive sampling from selected colleges in Hapur,Uttar Pradesh, participated in the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. Analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: Post-intervention, a statistically significant increase (p < 0.05) in knowledge score was observed compared to pre-test values. This suggests that the educational intervention effectively increased awareness and understanding of Nomophobia and it’s prevention strategies.
Conclusion: The structured teaching programme was effective in improving knowledge about nomophobia among nursing students. The findings underscore the importance of targeted educational interventions in mitigating digital dependency and promoting mental well-being among future healthcare providers.},
