ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu araştırma, hemşirelerin nomofobi düzeyleri ile sosyal iyilik hâali arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu araştırma, Ankara'daki bir devlet hastanesinde Şubat 2020-Şubat 2021 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma 285 hemşire ile yapılmıştır. Veriler ''Kişisel Bilgi Formu'', ''Nomofobi Ölçeği'' ve ''Sosyal İyilik Hali Ölçeği-Sağlık Çalışanları Versiyonu'' ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 11.5 programından faydalanılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı olarak nicel değişkenler için ortalama±standart sapma ve ortanca (minimum-maksimum), kesikli değişkenler için yüzde kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmada, hemşirelerin nomofobi düzeylerinin orta düzeyde, sosyal iyilik hâli düzeylerinin ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerde nomofobi düzeyleri ile sosyal iyilik hâli düzeyleri arasında negatif yönlü ilişki tespit edilmiştir. ''Sosyal Kabul'' alt boyutu ile ''Çevrim İçi Bağlantıyı Kaybetme'' alt boyut puan ortalaması arasında, ''Güven Duyma'' alt boyutu ile ''Nomofobi Ölçeği'' toplam puanı arasında; sosyal iyilik hâli ile ''Çevrim İçi Bağlantıyı Kaybetme'' alt boyutu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin nomofobi düzeyi arttıkça sosyal iyilik hâlinin olumsuz etkilendiği belirlenmiştir. Artan nomofobik davranışların, gerek iş hayatında gerek sosyal çevrede kişinin iyilik hâlini etkileyebileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, nomofobi düzeyini azaltma amacıyla farkındalık yaratan hizmet içi eğitimlerin yapılması, multidisipliner bir ekip içinde çalışan hemşirelerin çalışılan ortamdaki sosyal ihtiyaçlarının belirlenerek sosyal iyilik hâlini iyileştirmeye yönelik ilave çalışmalar yapılması önerilmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Hemşirelik; nomofobi; sosyal iyilik hâli
ABSTRACT
 Objective: This research was conducted to determine the relationship between nurses' nomophobia levels and their social well-being. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between February 2020-February 2021 in a public hospital in Ankara. The research was conducted with 285 nurses. Data were collected using the ''Personal Information Form'', ''The Nomophobia Questionnaire'' and ''Social Well Being Scale-Healthcare Professionals Version''. Statistical analyzes were obtained using SPSS 11.5 program. In the descriptive study, mean±standard deviation and median (minimum-maximum) were used for quantitative variables, and percentage was used for discrete variables. Results: It was determined that the nurses' nomophobia levels were moderate, and their social wellbeing levels were above the average. A negative correlation was found between the levels of nomophobia and social well-being of nurses. A statistically significant relationship was found between the ''Social Acceptance'' sub-dimension and the ''Losing Online Connection'' sub-dimension mean score, between the ''Confidence'' sub-dimension and the ''Nomophobia Scale'' total score, and between social well-being and the ''Losing Online Connection'' sub-dimension. Conclusion: It was determined that as the level of nomophobia of nurses increased, their social well-being was negatively affected. It is thought that increasing nomophobic behaviors may affect the well-being of the person both in business life and in the social environment. In this direction, it is recommended to carry out in-service trainings that raise awareness in order to reduce the level of nomophobia, and to determine the social needs of nurses working in a multidisciplinary team in the working environment and to carry out additional studies to improve social well-being.
