This research analyzes how the academic performance of Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students was influenced by their use of mobile phones in the first semester of the 2024–2025 school year. Although they are needed for communication and learning, mobile phones have become distractions for most students, which could influence their academic performance. The compulsive and excessive use of mobile phones is known as mobile phone dependency, and it may interfere with students' capacity to focus, prioritize their time, and perform academically in general. Google Forms surveys were employed to collect data from 339 BSN students who participated in the study. The research employed statistical methods and descriptive techniques, including Slovin's Formula for data analysis, Weighted Mean, Percentage Technique, and Spearman's Rank Correlation. Most of the respondents were female and aged between 20 and 21, as indicated by the findings. The findings indicated that students reliance on mobile phones had a "Moderate Impact" on their academic performance and information gathering, particularly on their ability to concentrate. The primary factors of mobile phone addiction were equally extrinsic and intrinsic, as students' habits were influenced by both external and internal factors. On this basis, the study recommends strategies to reduce the negative effects of mobile phone addiction, such as increasing awareness about the effects of overuse of phones on performance and promoting time management. By helping students achieve a balance between their academic responsibilities and the use of mobile phones, these recommendations aim to optimize learning outcomes.
