ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND. Restrictions implemented to control the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic may lead to disruptions in occupational balance among university students. PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based time-use intervention on the occupational balance of university students. METHOD. A total of 60 participants were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The intervention group received eight sessions of web-based time management intervention, while the control group received a single-session web-based time management intervention. Pre-and post-intervention occupational balance of the participants was evaluated with Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ). FINDINGS. The eight-session intervention was more effective than the single-session intervention in improving OBQ total scores and all individual OBQ item scores except for "Having sufficient things to do during a regular week." IMPLICATIONS. Occupational therapists can implement web-based time management interventions to promote the occupational balance of university students during the Covid-19 pandemic.
