Abstract: Background: Nomophobia, the fear of being without a mobile phone, has emerged as a growing issue among students. This study assessed the effectiveness of psychoeducation on reducing the level of nomophobia among college students in Bangalore. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was adopted. A total of 60 students were selected using convenience sampling. Data was collected using a structured nomophobia questionnaire. Psychoeducation was administered, and a post-test was conducted after 7 days. Results: Pre-test findings revealed that 41.7% of students had moderate nomophobia and 58.3% had severe nomophobia. Post-test results showed that 75% of students had moderate nomophobia and 25% had severe nomophobia. The mean pre-test score was 73.43, while the mean post-test score decreased to 61.40. The calculated t-value (15.03, p<0.05) indicated significant reduction in nomophobia. Conclusion: Psychoeducation was effective in reducing the level of nomophobia among students. This highlights the importance of educational interventions in addressing technology-related psychological issues.
