Introducción: El presente estudio aborda la prevalencia y los factores de incidencia de la nomofobia entre estudiantes universitarios gallegos. Metodología: se realizó un estudio cuantitativo y transversal en el que se encuestó a 774 estudiantes de educación superior utilizando el Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q). Resultados: las mujeres y los estudiantes más jóvenes presentaron niveles más altos de nomofobia. La frecuencia de conexión a internet a través del móvil también se relacionó significativamente con mayores niveles de nomofobia. El NMP-Q demostró ser una herramienta válida y fiable para mensurar la nomofobia en la población universitaria, constatándose su idoneidad para la medición de este fenómeno en base a cuatro dimensiones: “acceso a la información”, “renuncia a la comodidad”, “no poder comunicarse” y “pérdida de conexión”. Discusión: la nomofobia puede afectar negativamente a la salud mental, física y emocional de los individuos debido a la excesiva dependencia hacia sus smartphones, siendo el género, la edad y la frecuencia de conexión variables predictoras. Conclusiones: las instituciones universitarias deberían desarrollar programas educativos mediante los cuales se promueva una adecuada gestión en el uso de los teléfonos inteligentes a fin de desarrollar hábitos basados en el bienestar y en la capacidad de desconexión digital.
