This study analyzes the relationship between loneliness and nomophobia levels in grade XII students of SMA Unggulan Al-Azhar Medan. Nomophobia, anxiety related to smartphone dependence, and loneliness as a feeling of social isolation, were measured using the Nomophobia scale and the UCLA Loneliness Scale. The quantitative survey method involved 133 respondents with the results showing a significant positive relationship between nomophobia and loneliness (r = 0.67, p < 0.01). The majority of respondents showed high levels of nomophobia and moderate loneliness. These findings highlight the need for interventions to manage smartphone use and improve adolescent mental well-being.
