Summary
This study looks at how nomophobia (fear of being without a phone) affects anxiety and academic confidence in university students who have text neck (neck pain from looking down at phones). Researchers will survey 396 students aged 18-35 who use smartphones at least 3 hours daily. The goal is to understand the connection between physical symptoms and mental well-being, which is often overlooked in treatment.
