Objective: to investigate the existence of nomophobia among university students and its occupational repercussions. Methods: quantitative-qualitative research, with a descriptive approach, carried out with academics from a Brazilian federal public university between the years 2022 and 2023. Data were collected through the Nomophobia Questionnaire validated version for Brazilian Portuguese of the application, after the experience taken from smartphones during the period of one school shift. Content analysis and descriptive analysis were used. Results: 68 university students participated, with an average age of 22 years, of which 54 identified as women. The students scored above 20 points, highlighting 50% moderate and 23.5% in degree of Nomophobia. Three thematic categories were constructed: Reactions to moving away from smartphone related occupations; Occupations, forgetfulness and searching for the device; and Peace of mind by being involved in another activity. Conclusion: the unrestricted and unrestrained use of smartphones can lead to losses in the performance of other occupations such as academic activities, leisure, social participation and rest and sleep of these students, and can evolve into conditions that compromise health and well-being as is the case of nomophobia.
