ABSTRACT

{L-End}Objective To investigate the current status of academic procrastination, psychological resilience, and emotional intelligence among undergraduate nursing students in Hebei Province. {L-End}Methods A total of 2 121 undergraduate nursing students from seven medical universities in Hebei Province were selected as the research subjects using a convenient sampling method. The Academic Procrastination Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, and Emotional Intelligence Scale were used to investigate their academic procrastination, psychological resilience, and emotional intelligence. {L-End}Results The median score for academic procrastination among undergraduate nursing students was 62.5 points. The scores for psychological resilience and emotional intelligence were (79.9±10.1) and (100.7±11.6) points, respectively. The results of the multiple logistic regression analysis showed that students from urban areas experienced more severe academic procrastination than those from rural areas (P<0.05). Students with indifferent family relationships experienced more severe academic procrastination than those with close family relationships (P<0.05). Higher grade levels, lower scores in psychological resilience, and lower scores in emotional intelligence were associated with more severe academic procrastination among these nursing students (all P<0.05). {L-End}Conclusion The overall degree of academic procrastination among undergraduate nursing students in Hebei Province is at a moderate level. The level of psychological resilience and emotional intelligence can negatively affect the degree of academic procrastination among these undergraduate nursing students.
