Nomophobia, or the fear of being without one’s smartphone, is a growing concern in workplaces around the world. This phenomenon affects both employee well-being and organizational productivity. Despite its prevalence, there is a notable lack of systematic reviews investigating nomophobia in workplace, as well as the factors that intensify or inhibit it in workplace settings. This paper bridges this gap by conducting a systematic literature review of workplace nomophobia, drawing insights from 15,009 observations across 36 studies. Our review uncovers the widespread nature of nomophobia, its antecedents, symptoms, and the significant consequences it has in professional settings, such as increased anxiety, work stress, and frequent work interruptions. Demographic factors like age, gender, and education level influence the severity of nomophobia, with younger and more educated employees being especially vulnerable. The findings highlight the urgent need for interventions and organizational strategies to mitigate the negative effects of nomophobia and foster healthier digital habits at work. This study enriches the theoretical understanding of nomophobia and offers practical insights for future research and organizational practice.

AimThis study aims to assess the levels of nomophobia among nurses and midwives employed at a gynecology and children's hospital and to explore its impact on their lives.MethodsThis descriptive cross‐sectional study was conducted in a gynecology and pediatrics hospital situated in the western region of Turkey. The research sample comprised 112 nurses and midwives. Data collection was facilitated through an “Introductory Information Form” and the “Nomophobia Scale,” with adherence to the STROBE checklist for reporting this cross‐sectional study.ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 34.50 ± 9.98 years. The average total score on the nomophobia scale was 68.45 ± 24.62, with 54.5% of participants classified as having moderate levels of nomophobia. Factors such as age, years of experience in nursing or midwifery, work patterns, and the habit of checking their phones immediately upon waking and before sleeping were found to influence their levels of nomophobia.ConclusionThe study observed that mobile phone usage among nurses and midwives in a gynecology and pediatrics setting negatively affects their mental and physical health, with a moderate level of nomophobia being prevalent. Notably, older age and increased work experience were associated with lower nomophobia scores.Implications for nursing practiceInitiatives aimed at preventing the onset of nomophobia are recommended, especially targeting younger nurses and midwives who play a crucial role in health service delivery.
