Interventions to overcome No Mobile Phone Phobia (NOMOPHOBIA) behavior in Adolescents: A Systematic Review

Nomophobia is anxiety and fear caused by the absence of a mobile phone or software in the immediate area. Nomophobia has negative impacts on students, such as decreased concentration, academic achievement, health, and disruption of social relationships. This systematic review aims to identify effective interventions to overcome nomophobia in students. Of the ten journals analyzed, mindfulness training interventions were the most recommended, in addition to cognitive therapy, Islamic counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), expressive writing, and dhikr therapy can also be used as intervention options. Mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety by reducing cortisol levels and activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which have positive physiological and psychological impacts. Other interventions such as expressive writing and CBT have also shown effectiveness in relieving emotional stress and changing negative thought patterns. These findings indicate that mindfulness has high potential to be implemented in Indonesia in order to improve students' mental well-being and reduce the negative impacts of nomophobia .
