Popis: Purpose This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nursing students' smartphone addiction and interaction anxiety. Design and methods This descriptive relation-seeker type study was conducted with 333 students. The Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version and the Interaction Anxiousness Scale were used. Findings Of the students who participated in the study, 12% were at risk for smartphone addiction. A statistically significant correlation was determined between the scores for the two scales used. Practice implications As students' smartphone addiction risks increased, their interaction anxiety also appeared to increase, pointing to a need for guidance to restrict smartphone use in this population.
