Relationship between academic procrastination and perceived competence, self-esteem and general self-efficacy of nursing students

Abstract

Context: Academic procrastination leads to dysfunctional learning outcomes in terms of patient care skills, and consequently, the nursing students’ knowledge and awareness declines, which is known as a deterrent to their success. On the other hand, perceived competence, self efficacy, and self esteem significantly influence the students’ health and proper functioning of the study. Hence, it is important to examine the relationship between the mentioned variables with procrastination.
