Randomized trial examines nomophobia's impact on anxiety and depression in mothers of children with ADHD, suggesting clinical significance.
Key Points
This study aims to explore the relationship between nomophobia and psychological symptoms, specifically anxiety and depression, in mothers of children with ADHD.
Included 89 mothers, 41 with children diagnosed with ADHD and 48 with no psychiatric disorders.
Participants completed the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
Statistical analyses included correlation coefficients and multiple regression.
Mothers of children with ADHD exhibited higher nomophobia scores with a positive correlation to anxiety (r = 0.29, p = 0.01) and depression (r = 0.48, p < 0.001).
Within the ADHD group, nomophobia correlated significantly with anxiety (r = 0.34, p = 0.03) and depression (r = 0.51, p = 0.001).
Depression was a significant predictor of nomophobia with R² = 0.35, p < 0.001.
