Participants assigned to this group will undergo a brief digital abstinence intervention aimed at reducing non-academic smartphone and social media use. Students will be instructed to limit or abstain from non-essential digital activities for the duration of the intervention period. Educational guidance and self-monitoring strategies will be provided to help participants manage digital distractions and improve time management. Outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention using validated questionnaires measuring digital distraction and time management behaviors.

Participants in this group will continue their usual smartphone and social media use without any specific restriction or behavioral intervention. They will complete the same baseline and follow-up assessments as the intervention group to evaluate changes in digital distraction and time management over the study period.

Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive a brief behavioral intervention designed to reduce non-academic smartphone and social media use. The intervention encourages temporary abstinence or substantial reduction of digital activities that contribute to distraction. Participants will be guided to monitor their smartphone use and minimize engagement with non-essential digital platforms during the intervention period. The goal of the intervention is to reduce digital distractions and support improved time management and academic focus among nursing students.

The primary outcome is the change in participants' time management from baseline to post-intervention, measured using a structured questionnaire/validated time management scale administered to undergraduate nursing students. Higher scores indicate better time management.
