Summary
Details

What happens when the fear of losing a phone becomes stronger than the fear of failure? In Fear of Being Offline, Fathima Hasna explores the hidden psychological cost of constant connectivity among medical students in Sri Lanka. Drawing from one of the first nationwide studies on nomophobia in Sri Lankan universities, this book reveals a striking reality: nearly every medical student experiences anxiety, discomfort, or distress when separated from their smartphone. Blending scientific research with clear, engaging storytelling, this book examines how smartphones-while indispensable tools in modern medical education-have quietly evolved into emotional lifelines. From lecture halls to hospital wards, phones shape how students learn, cope, communicate, and unwind. But at what cost? Inside these pages, readers will discover: Why 98.7% of medical students show signs of nomophobia How smartphone dependency affects focus, mental health, and daily functioning Why gender and living arrangements matter less than expected The psychological mechanisms behind the fear of disconnection Practical insights for building healthier digital habits Grounded in real data yet written for a general audience, Fear of Being Offline is not an attack on technology-it is a call for awareness, balance, and mindful use in a world that never logs off. Essential reading for students, educators, parents, healthcare professionals, and anyone questioning their relationship with their phone.
