Abstract
This study explored the impact of so cial media-induced Fear of Missing Out
(FoMO) on the academic study habits of nursing students at Foun dation University.
Guided by the Self-Determination Theory, Temporal Motivation Theory, and Health
Promotion Model, the research used a quantitative, descriptive-correlational design.
A total of 286 first to third-year nursing students were selected through stratified
random sampling. Data were collected using two standardized instruments which are
the State FoMO Inventory and the Academic Study Habits Questionnaire. Spearman's
rank correlation (a = 0.05) revealed a significant negatíve relationship between
SFoMO and overall academic study habits (rs = -0.204, p < 0.001). Further analysis
showed that SFoMO was significantly associated with weaker habits in assignment
completion and reading discipline (rs = -0.165, p = 0.005), class preparation and
participation (rs = -0.275, p<0.001), and response to academic distractions (rs = -
0.120, p = 0.043). However, no significant relationship was found between SFoMO
and study planning and time management (rs = 0.089, p = 0.134). Additionally, results
indicated no significant correlation between SFoMO and students' age or year level,
suggesting that FoMO cuts across demographic categories and is more reflective of
general patterns of social media use. These findings highlight SFoMO as a disruptive
factor in nursing students' academic habits, especially in areas needing discipline and
consistency. The study recommends digital wellness efforts and academic support to
reduce SFoMO's negative impact and improve study habits.
