Mental illness prevention Psychiatry Nomophobia refers to the feeling of fear to be without a mobile phone. It was a new term and serious problem of smartphone addiction but this problem was still unknown globally. This study aimed to determine nomophobia among undergraduate students in the Faculty of Health Sciences UiTM Selangor Puncak Alam Campus. A cross-sectional study was performed on 326 undergraduate students from all programmes which were selected using simple random sampling. The instruments used in this study were adapted and adopted from Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) and Mobile Phone Involvement Questionnaire (MPIQ). 204 (62.6%) out of 326 of the respondents had a moderate level of nomophobia while 75 (23.0%) had a severe level of nomophobia. While 46 (14.1%) of the respondent having a mild level of nomophobia and 1 (0.3%) shown no symptoms of nomophobia. There is no statistically significant difference of prevalence of nomophobia between female and male with mean 3.09 (0.62) and 3.07 (0.58) respectively. Besides, a strong positive correlation was seen between the prevalence of nomophobia and psychosocial interaction. As a conclusion, the majority of the students have a moderate level of nomophobia.
