      ab: Background: There is a growing use of all sorts of technologies and technological devices around the world. The widespread use of the technological devices among children today shows the risk that children carry in terms of nomophobia. Aim: This study examined the effect of problematic internet use and digital game addiction on nomophobia level. Methodology: The study was designed to collect descriptive, correlational, predictive, and cross-sectional data on 668 adolescents. Data were collected using the Problematic Internet Use Scale, Game Addiction Scale and Nomophobia Questionnaire. Numbers, percentage analysis, and correlation and regression analyses were employed to evaluate the data. Results: The mean age of the adolescents that participated in this study was 15.42±0.38 years. Regarding the correlation between adolescents' problematic internet use and digital game addiction and their nomophobia levels, the study found that there was a positive and moderate correlation between the adolescents' problematic internet use and nomophobia levels (r=.683, p<.001), while there was a positive, moderate, and significant correlation (r=.714, p<.001) between their digital game addiction and nomophobia levels. There was a positive correlation between the adolescents' problematic internet use and digital game addiction mean scores and their nomophobia levels, and 59% (F=477,107, p<.001) of the factors that affected nomophobia levels were explained by problematic internet use and digital game addiction. Conclusions: This study found that adolescents who have high levels of problematic internet use and digital game addiction might increase their nomophobia levels as well.
