Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between nomophobia, fear of missing out (FoMO), and perceived work overload (PWO) among nurses in Turkey. Design and Methods: This descriptive study was carried out with 178 nurses. In the study, the Nomophobia Questionnaire, FoMO scale, and PWO scale were used. Findings: There was a positive and significant relationship between nomophobia, FoMO, and PWO variables. The nomophobia and FoMO independent variables accounted for 6% of the PWO-dependent variable. Practice Implications: Controlled use of smartphones and social media can contribute to the minimizing of the work overload perceived by nurses as a time pressure factor.
