简要总结
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of nomophobia levels on stress, food addiction, and body image among undergraduate students aged 18-30 at Bahçeşehir University, Faculty of Health Sciences. The primary questions it aims to answer are:
- Is there a statistically significant relationship between nomophobia levels and perceived stress, food addiction, and body image among university students?
- Is there a correlation between objective anthropometric data (body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass) measured via Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), waist/hip circumference measurements, and the individual's perceived body image?
详细描述
The data collection process for this study will involve undergraduate students aged 18-30 at Bahçeşehir University, Faculty of Health Sciences. Participants will first complete a survey consisting of a socio-demographic form, daily screen time tracking, the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), and the Stunkard Figure Rating Scale (FRS) to assess subjective body image.To ensure the accuracy of the biological data, participants will be required to follow a standardized measurement protocol, including at least 8 hours of fasting, avoidance of heavy physical activity prior to the assessment, and the removal of all metal accessories. Under these conditions, objective physical data will be gathered using the InBody 270 body composition analyzer via Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to record body weight (kg), body fat percentage (%), and skeletal muscle mass (kg). Additionally, anthropometric measurements including waist and hip circumferences (cm) will be manually collected using a standardized non-elastic tape to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR). These objective metrics will be compared with the participants' subjective survey responses to analyze the impact of nomophobia on body image distortion, stress levels, and eating behaviors.

研究组 & 干预措施
University Students
Participants (n:150) will complete questionnaires assessing nomophobia, perceived stress, body image, and food addiction. In addition, objective anthropometric measurements, including body composition (fat mass, muscle mass) via Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (InBody 270) and waist-to-hip ratio measurements, will be collected. No drugs or treatments are administered.
干预措施: Questionnaires on Nomophobia, Perceived Stress, Body Image, and Food Addiction; Body Composition and Anthropometric Measurements via Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Nomophobia
时间窗: Single time point
The level of nomophobia experienced by participants, measured using the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q). This form aims to assess your feelings and thoughts when you cannot access your smartphone or are away from it, a condition known as nomophobia. There are no right or wrong answers; what matters is answering honestly based on your own experience. Indicate your level of agreement with each statement about your smartphone use (1 = strongly agree, 7 = strongly disagree).
