| Abstract: | Increasing psychological resilience against the ever-increasing smartphone addiction is crucial. In this context, mindfulness is thought to be an important element. This study was conducted to determine the moderating role of mindfulness in the relationship between psychological resilience and smartphone addiction. This study is cross-sectional and correlational. The study employed a sample consisting of 380 nursing students who voluntarily agreed to participate and completed the online forms. Data were collected using an introductory information form, the mindfulness scale, the psychological resilience scale, and the smartphone addiction scale-short form. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and Hayes' Process macro were used in the data analysis. Mindfulness levels were found to be high in first grade but decreased in higher grades, while smartphone addiction was highest in fourth grade. As mindfulness increased, psychological resilience also increased, and as mindfulness or psychological resilience increased, smartphone addiction decreased. Mindfulness was found to be a significant moderator variable supporting the inverse relationship between psychological resilience and smartphone addiction. It is thought that it is important to use various activities such as courses, seminars, etc. that aim to increase mindfulness in nursing education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
