This study was planned with a descriptive and correlational design. The study was conducted on 316 nursing students studying at the Faculty of Nursing between November and December 2023. Personal Information Form, F & imath;rat Nomophobia Scale, F & imath;rat Netlessphobia Scale, and Academic Procrastination Scale were used as data collection tools. The study found a strong positive correlation between the nomophobia score and the netlessphobia score (r =.795; p<.001) and a moderate positive and significant correlation with the academic procrastination score (r =.316; p<.001). 64% of the change in netlessphobia (R2=.79) is due to the direct effect of nomophobia. Students with high levels of nomophobia and academic procrastination had higher levels of netlessphobia than other students. In the study, academic procrastination mediated the relationship between nomophobia and netlessphobia. This means that academic procrastination acts as a link between nomophobia and netlessphobia, suggesting that the fear of disconnection from phones or the internet leads to procrastination, which in turn reinforces both phobias. Educating students about digital illnesses and developing awareness-based interventions to address nomophobia and netlessphobia may help to reduce academic procrastination.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNursing studentsNetlessphobiaNomophobiaAcademic procrastinationArticle15228129010.53478/yuksekogretim.1522954WOS:001555666400001Q4
