Background & Aims: Despite their widespread use among the general public, smartphones have adverse effects that lead to irreparable problems. The relationship between smartphone addiction with loneliness, fear of missing out (FOMO), and students' academic performance has always been the focus of studies. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between smartphone addiction, loneliness, FOMO, and academic performance among students of Urmia University of Medical Sciences in 2021-2022.
Materials & Methods: In this descriptive and correlational study, 230 students entered the study using stratified sampling. Inclusion criteria included being a student in one of the majors at Urmia University of Medical Sciences, owning smartphones, and willingness to participate in the study. Data were collected through Pham and Taylor Academic Performance Questionnaire, Russell Loneliness Questionnaire, Prezibelski fear of missing out Questionnaire, and Kwon Smartphone Addiction Questionnaire. Inferential statistical tests such as Chi-square, Pearson, and Spearman correlation coefficients were also used to analyze the data. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The results showed that 100 (43.5%) students used smartphones for academic and educational use, and 130 (56.5%) students used them for non-academic purposes. The mean score for smartphone addiction and FOMO was moderate to high, and the mean score for the feeling of loneliness and students' academic performance was moderate. The correlation between smartphone addiction with loneliness and FOMO was significant and direct. However, smartphone addiction had a significant and inverse relationship with academic performance (p
