abstract = {Nomophobia is one of the modern pathologies that has been born as a consequence of the impact that portable
technologies have had on society and the dependence generated among citizens, especially towards smartphones.
This phobia manifests itself and is intensified by the loss of immediate access to information, to the network of
contacts, as well as by the impossibility of contacting or being contacted by other people. All this ends up
interfering with the development of the person's daily life (physical, physiological, psychological, social problems,
among others). Although the research is in an incipient phase, the problem has not been studied with the teaching
population, so we present a pioneering study with this group, the main objective being to analyze the prevalence
of nomophobia in future teachers of Early Childhood and Primary Education, as well as to check the incidence of
rest time in the levels of nomophobia. The study follows a descriptive, correlational, transversal and predictive
design and a quantitative methodology. The standardized nomophobia questionnaire NMP-Q was used on a
sample of n ¼ 849 future teachers. The results show average levels of nomophobia in most of the variables.
However, the higher levels of nervousness, fear or anxiety stand out due to the inability to communicate
instantaneously. Also, a higher prevalence of the problem is observed in the sector of the sample that claims to
sacrifice rest time due to the use of their mobile phone. Although these numbers are not alarming, we must take
into account that in some variables the prevalence is slightly higher, making it necessary to make educational
interventions in this regard and to promote education for the responsible and critical use of media and
technologies.},
