Abstract
El elevado nivel de intrusión de los teléfonos inteligentes en la vida familiar hace que niños y niñas estén cada vez más expuestos a las pantallas. En este contexto de hiperconexión, la mediación y regulación parental resultan claves para garantizar el bienestar digital de los menores. El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar la prevalencia de la nomofobia entre progenitores con hijos/as de 3 a 12 años usuarios de smartphone y analizar la relación entre la nomofobia parental y el nivel de permisividad respecto al uso del móvil en la infancia. Participaron 1245 padres y madres de la ciudad de Lugo (España), a quienes se administró la escala validada NMP-Q junto con un bloque de ítems sobre normas y prácticas de uso. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos de prevalencia, correlaciones de Pearson y modelos de regresión logística binaria. Los resultados mostraron que el 20.96 % de los encuestados presentaba niveles de nomofobia en riesgo y problemáticos. La nomofobia total y sus dimensiones se asociaron con una mayor probabilidad de adoptar un estilo parental más permisivo. Estos hallazgos evidencian la necesidad de integrar la nomofobia parental en las intervenciones familiares orientadas a un uso saludable del smartphone.
The widespread use of smartphones in family life means that children are increasingly exposed to screens. In this context of hyper connection, parental mediation and regulation are key to ensuring children’s digital well-being. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of nomophobia among parents of 3- to 12-year-old smartphone users and to analyze the relationship between parental nomophobia and the level of permissiveness regarding children’s smartphone use. The sample consisted of 1,245 mothers and fathers from the city of Lugo (Spain), who completed the validated NMP-Q scale along with a set of items on rules and usage practices. Descriptive prevalence analyses, Pearson correlations, and binary logistic regression models were conducted. Results showed that 20.96% of respondents reported at-risk or problematic levels of nomophobia. Total nomophobia and its factors were associated with a higher likelihood of adopting a more permissive parenting style. These findings highlight the need to incorporate parental nomophobia into family interventions aimed at promoting healthy smartphone use.
