ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to determine the moderating effect of time management on the
relationship between Academic Procrastination and Academic Resilience among the nursing
students of one private college in Davao City, Philippines. The design of this study is predictive-
correlational and has a total of 74 respondents which are composed of 3rd year Bachelor of Science
in Nursing (BSN) students which are enrolled in a private, higher educational, and non-sectarian
institution. The said respondents were chosen via stratified random sampling method out of the
456-total number of respondents. The questionnaire used on this study were adopted from other
studies and were evaluated by the experts. The researchers consulted the said questionnaires to the
statistician for the variables Academic Procrastination (A.P.), Academic Resilience (A.R.), and
Time Management (T.M.). Base on the result from the statistician (A.P.) showed an excellent level
of content validity (S-CVI/UA = 0.81) and for the overall agreement of the experts by average
method (S-CVI/AVE = 0.94). For (A.R.) it showed also an excellent level of content validity (S-
CVI/UA = 1.00). The time Management questionnaire showed as well an excellent level of content
validity as per universal agreement approach (S-CVI/UA = 0.93) and for the overall agreement of
the experts by average method (S-CVI/AVE = 0.98). It was observed on this study that there is a
positive significant with the relation between academic procrastination and academic resiliency of
the 3rd year Nursing students however there is no significant moderation based on the result of the
study.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Nursing education demands expertise in managing busy schedules, challenging situations, and
maximize productivity amidst lectures, assignments, and exams. Procrastination poses a significant
barrier to productivity among students, negatively impacting performance and well-being. Time
management, essentially a form of self-management, aims to enhance work output and quality in
real-time scenarios (Nayak, 2019). Research among Nursing Science students at STIKes Medistra
Indonesia showed that improved time management correlates with reduced academic
procrastination among 132 participants. However, it remains unclear how this affects the academic
resilience of these students (Roysid et al., 2022). This prompts further investigation into how time
management moderates the link between academic procrastination and academic resilience in
nursing education.
relates to academic procrastination among nursing students using analytic correlation. Of the 110
randomly sampled respondents, 77 students (70%) showed sufficient time management skills,
while 72 students (65.5%) tended to procrastinate academically. The findings highlight a clear link
between effective time management and lower levels of academic procrastination among nursing
students (Khotima, 2022). Effective time management entails prioritizing tasks by urgency and
cultivating self-discipline in fulfilling assignments and obligations. This is being said that taking
control of your day is what it means to effectively manage your time. You began with the most
important duties first, taking responsibility for what has to be completed immediately, and you gain
knowledge to have the self-control to finish things, even if they are uninteresting. This combination
guarantee that you're making the most of your time to accomplish the things that really matter.
A study at Bhakti Kencana University, Indonesia found that 82.5% of students experienced
2
moderate stress, and 81.4% reported moderate academic procrastination. Using the Spearman rank
procrastination and stress levels. These findings suggest that the university could support students
by providing guidance and motivation to alleviate the academic burden on students (Muliani,
2019). Moreover, offering motivational support programs or workshops can help students stay
focused and overcome challenges, ultimately lightening the burden they feel in fostering self-belief
and resilience, making the academic journey feel less burdensome and more achievable.
In the Philippines, a research conducted at San Agustin Institute of Technology in Valencia City,
Philippines yielded contrasting results regarding the impact of time management on academic
procrastination and academic resilience. Despite 213 participants showing moderate levels of time
management, their academic resilience was rated as very good. However, the correlation test
revealed an insignificant association between time management and academic resilience. These
findings suggest that in this particular context or population, traditional time management
techniques may not strongly predict academic resilience (Calonia et al., 2023). This discrepancy
poses a challenge for understanding effective strategies to enhance academic performance and.
This study aims to explore the time management's role in moderating the relationship between
academic procrastination and academic resilience among Level 3 Nursing students, highlighting
gaps in current research. Nursing students often grapple with academic procrastination and the
imperative of academic resilience, affecting their ability to showcase their full potential.
Understanding how effective time management influences these dynamics is crucial for enhancing
This chapter contains concepts, theories, and research findings from various reliable sources
relevant to research study to provide deeper understanding of the subject matter and relevant
background information.
Time Management
The study by Arumugam et al. (2021), looked at the dynamic relationship between time
management abilities and how they affect teens' academic performance. The most important factor
is time management, which can actually influence someone’s total performance and
accomplishments. Furthermore, according to Adams and Blair’s (2019), study found a relationship
between students' anxiety levels and improved academic performance when they practice good time
and decrease anxiety, finding a balance between their daily lives and their studies is a challenge for
many students. Even so, a lot of students find it difficult to reconcile their daily life and their
academic obligations. Students have trouble managing their time, which lowers their efficacy and
efficiency which makes them tolerate a demanding workload (Briones, 2019). Almost all students
create timetables that list each of their activities sequentially in order of importance. They
experienced problems with missing class due to medical conditions, turning in assignments late,
and some of them arriving late because of work (Fitriana et al., 2021).
According to the study of Rajab et al. (2020) there’s a factor that contributes to the issue of
managing time and it is termed as technophobia in which the students are having a hard time dealing
with technologies such as hardware and software. In addition, they also mentioned that a lack of
technology for academically purposes contributes to delaying the task that are assigned to them.
Furthermore, an action that is organized can be referred to as time management and it is a set of
behavior that enables nurses to improve their productivity, makes better use of time, and raises the
4
possibility of achieving their daily plan of activities. These behaviors include learning how to create
goals, prioritize tasks, plan ahead, and identify ways to cut down on time wastage and applying
these skills are crucial especially in the field of nursing (Vizeshfar et al., 2022). Moreover,
according to the study of Briones (2019), some students struggle to manage their time well, which
reduces their efficiency and effectiveness and causes them to put up with a heavy workload.
However, this study has brought about a change that will assist students in managing and
controlling their time, which is crucial, particularly for their academic accomplishments. Through
this study, the students will eventually be able to manage their time for their studies and schoolwork
administrative tasks and is highly dependent on high levels of human abilities and skills in order
to simultaneously produce positive benefits for society and for individuals. Despite its importance,
managing one's own time is never simple, necessitating both specialized training and a wide range
societal and individual demands, as well as having the flexibility to adapt to both present and future
circumstances (Nigussie, 2019). Furthermore, the dynamic relationship between time management
skills and how they impact student’s academic performance was examined, the most crucial
element is effective time management, which has a real impact on an individual's overall
performance and achievements. The way people arrange their time to fit into or seamlessly
integrate with their regular routines, on the other hand, unites them all. Teenagers will surely obtain
favourable outcomes with supportive circumstances and settings in addition to excellent lectures.
Students must, however, learn how to manage their time well if they are to achieve. Regretfully, a
few of the kids lack these abilities, which has negatively impacted both their quality of life and
academic achievement Arumugam et al., (2021). Moreover, time management is a necessary ability
5
for all nursing students to be able to survive the career path they have chosen. It is believed that
poor time management will hinder student’s academic achievement Ahmad et al., (2019).
According to the study of Martin et al., (2020), time management issues have been
identified, including the inability to stay up to date with assignments, the need to turn in work on
time, and the need to actively participate in the online course. In contrast to classes held in person,
which have scheduled times for meetings, asynchronous online courses allow students to complete
assignments on their own schedule, which might be difficult for those who lack discipline.
Moreover, many educational institutions offered online learning for some courses or programs
prior to the COVID-19 epidemic. On the other hand, some other institutions feel that navigating
the steps involved in setting up the course and programs for online learning is challenging Fidalgo
et al., (2020). Furthermore, the study of Magableh & Alia (2021), revealed that students' main
concerns were regarding their ability to manage their time, their desire to use online resources, and
according to Nayak (2018), since it involves organizing tasks and managing oneself to make the
most use of one's time. Additionally, since nursing students will need to manage their time well
throughout their career and since effective time management boosts productivity, it is imperative
that they learn effective time management techniques. It is important for students to maintain
a healthy balance in their lives between their academic and personal lives. Additionally, poor time
management hinders students' ability to succeed academically and is a skill that every nursing
student must possess in order to survive the path they have chosen (Ahmad et al., 2019).
Furthermore, time management is essential for maintaining mental health, and setting deadlines for
Academic Procrastination
According to the study of Suhadianto et al., (2020), which states that delaying the task
tendency that has negative effects for students. Several studies show that academic procrastination
implications influence failure in the learning process and educational performance attainment (Ojo,
2019). The scope of this phenomena among students, as well as the negative influence on their
academic progress, requires additional attention and investigation into this topic. In addition,
(Melgaard et al., 2022), states that academic procrastination is a progressive concern in the sector
of education and is rampant during the times of pandemic. One of the common hurdles to
productivity is procrastination.
Effective time management is important for everyone, whether students or not. Many factors
influence how and in what manner students manage their time. Some people are quite good at managing their
time, while others are not (Khiat, 2022). The willingness of learners to effectively allocate time to
educational objectives, as well as their ability to reduce maladaptive tendencies like procrastination, are
critical indicators of academic achievement (Alfonso, 2021). Students need to break bad habits such as
academic procrastination in order to develop good time management skills because doing assignments on
time and not putting them off increases’ performance (Aribas, 2021). Furthermore, the existence of
students generally have the desire to study and the inclination to do so, they do not behave as they
According to Svartdal et al., (2020) studies show that procrastination is twice as common
as or possibly three times more common in students than in the working population. This
disproportionate frequency suggests that students may see the academic setting as "procrastination
friendly." The current study identifies social, cultural, organizational, and contextual elements that

may encourage or facilitate procrastination such as a high degree of freedom during study sessions,
extended deadlines, and temptations and diversions, outlines the research supporting these
findings, and offers suggestions for altering these elements to lessen and avoid procrastination.
More focus should be paid to these procrastination-promoting elements in educational settings and

positive impact on students, organizations, and society as a whole. Various types of procrastination

considered to be the factor that leads to academic failure. Negative effects of procrastination
include anxiousness, rushing to complete tasks, not completing them on time, and study for exams
as well as social anxiety. People however, are well aware of the detrimental effects of this delay
and the degree of one’s own performance may decline due to this phenomenon (Zarrin et al., 2020).
procrastination, which is not an uncommon occurrence among students. The ability to put off
gratification, doubt oneself, or place the blame for a difficult, uncomfortable, or embarrassing
situation on outside forces are all examples of procrastination. Procrastination is the tendency to
put off completing an assigned task within a given timeframe or to avoid it altogether (Shaked &
Altarac 2020). In addition, according to the study of Santysa et al., (2020) Academic
procrastination is one of the variables that affects learning achievement, students with high
academic procrastination consistently put off completing assignments, whereas students with low
academic procrastination can finish assignments right away. Academic procrastination can be
8
which can both result in a drop-in learning achievement and stress for the student.
Academic procrastination is the practice of putting off work on assignments to the point
that it affects one's productivity, well-being, and health. Students frequently struggle with this
issue, which can have detrimental effects. In order to establish preventive and remedial strategies,
and underlying mechanisms (Svartdal & Lokke 2022). However, academic procrastination could
also be linked to excessive internet usage that could lead to academic failure in terms of behavior,
procrastination is highly frequent among students and should not be disregarded due to its rising
prevalence. It is a pervasive phenomenon that causes problems with daily tasks and assignments.
Recognizing the frequency of academic procrastination and its crucial causes among medical
students is crucial because procrastinating is harmful to both academic performance and mental
health (Hayat et al., 2020). Furthermore, it is crucial to comprehend who is more prone to
procrastination, when it occurs, and why in order to overcome it. Many life outcomes are predicted
by procrastination tendencies, and those who report procrastinating more frequently also tend to
have worse mental and physical health, more financial difficulties, and worse levels of life
satisfaction. When procrastinators aspire to study well, they probably have to resort to poor study
According to the study of Rovan et al., (2019) high procrastinators employ fewer learning
regulatory techniques, such as rehearsal, time, study environment, and effort regulation.
Procrastination was found to be adversely connected with self-efficacy for self-regulated learning
strategies. According to their research, academic procrastination can also be viewed as a self-
handicapping tactic used in academic settings. This refers to delaying goals until they are so
unlikely to be achieved, which causes psychological distress and lower academic achievement. In

addition, procrastination has been linked to a number of issues, such as social anxiety and test
anxiety. Some common reasons include not having enough energy, other tasks requiring students'
attention, fear of failing, feeling overwhelmed, difficulty choosing topics to learn, waiting for more
information to be given in class, waiting for classmates to start so you can start them off with some
questions, loving challenges and excitement waiting until the last minute Fakhruddiana & Sira
assigned work for illogical reasons, such as the belief that the task is too difficult and that the person
is unwilling or unable to finish it. Their research revealed several factors that contribute to
academic procrastination, including psychological beliefs about one's own abilities, attentional
diversion, social factors, time management abilities, initiative, and laziness Basith et al., (2024).
A common form of academic procrastination among students is to put off academic work
and turn in papers or study for exams at the last moment demanding parents that generally suspects
the abilities of their children to be successful in life induce procrastination behavior in them Batool
(2019). Moreover, students frequently exhibit procrastination, and evidence shows that
procrastination generally has a negative link with academic achievement, with low procrastinators
naturally affects their academic wellbeing and is associated with unfavourable outcomes like
failure. Academic procrastination at the university level is associated with poor performance and
dropout rates. As procrastination creates a snowball effect that negatively impacts learning, creates stress,
and ultimately reduces a student's chances of academic success. Additionally, poor internet use puts
university students at danger for missing out on other activities. Moreover, a number of earlier
studies have shown a connection between academic procrastination and internal addiction Diaz et
al., (2020).

Academic Resilience
According to (Romano et al., 2021), the ability to anticipate and adjust to difficult situations
in which stressful events and situations in a student's academic route do not limit cognitive function
and development (Zheng et al., 2020). Furthermore, resilience is the ability to become flexible at
the times of hardships. (Amelasasih et al., 2019). In addition, the ability of a student to effectively
manage academic setbacks, anxiety, and study pressure is known as academic resilience. Students
today deal with a variety of issues in both society and their institutions. If sufficient measures are
not implemented to assist in resolving these issues, students will experience stress and strain. Poor
academic performance and a higher dropout rate could result from this (Radhamani & Kalaivani
2021).
According to Ashrafi et al., (2021), skills such as time management are vital in acquiring the
academic learning and goals of students. In addition, it made a positive impact for students which
includes reduction in academic procrastination, obtaining more control in their studies and reduced
feeling of stress, successfully finishing more tasks thus students who understand and utilize time
management appropriately are more pleased than those students who don't imply it effectively.
Furthermore, to thrive in a higher education program, students must possess academic resilience in
People should avoid crowds and maintain a safe distance due to the ongoing pandemic.
Carrying out an online distance learning method is the most efficient way to maintain education
during this pandemic. Students are affected by online learning, particularly teenagers. This can
have a significant impact on a teen's psychological and intellectual well-being and feel like an
overwhelming pressure or weight. For high school students to overcome obstacles in their academic

careers and a range of unfavorable emotions that may surface when they are learning online,
thought to be related to peer social support from their social surroundings. The purpose of this
study is to ascertain how peer social support affects high school students' academic resilience when
they participate in online learning in Makassar. This study uses a correlational research approach
and is quantitative in nature. Accidental sampling is the method of sampling that is employed. The
Peer Social Support Scale and the Academic Resilience Scale are used to gather research data. A
study of the data was conducted using basic linear regression. The findings indicate that peer social
support has a major role in supporting academic resilience among teenagers participating in online
learning in Makassar. 20% (R2 = 0,20; Sig = 0,00000) of academic resilience is attributed to peer
social support, with the remaining 80% being influenced by factors not included in this analysis
Students who study at the tertiary level face many demands and difficulties. As a result,
mental toughness is crucial to school achievement and general well-being. Research on resilience
has shifted from viewing resilience as an attribute to examining resilience as a mechanism by which
resources defend against the damaging effects of stressors in order to generate favorable results.
Nonetheless, there is a lack of scholarly study investigating the mechanics behind this process. In
order to close this gap, a sample of 306 undergraduate students were examined to see how various
personal resilience resources interacted with coping strategies to yield beneficial adaption
outcomes. First, the examination of individual variances in resilience was done. Component
analysis produced self-report measures of resilience-related traits that converged onto a single
component. After validating the extracted component against indicators of positive adaptation
(mental health, university adjustment, and physical health symptoms), structural equation modeling
was used to examine the mediating functions of coping mechanisms. Through support-seeking and
12
avoidant coping, respectively, the resilience resources factor indirectly predicted adjustment and
somatic health symptoms. It also directly predicted mental well-being and adjustment. These
findings have practical implications for enhancing student well-being and adjustment by
encouraging social support and decreasing disengaged and avoidant coping behaviors, as well as
It is generally known that academic stress has an impact on self-directed learning, academic
motivation, and resilience in nursing students. Studies examining the mediation function of
academic motivation and resilience between academic stress and self-directed learning are scarce,
nevertheless. Data were gathered from August to December 2022 using four self-report measures:
the Self-directed Learning Instrument, the Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale, the Short
academic Motivation Scale, and the Perception of Academic Stress Scale. The data was analyzed
using Pearson's r, bivariate analysis, and multistage regression analyses. The resilience, academic
motivation, and self-directed learning of nursing students are adversely affected by academic stress.
decrease in the detrimental effects of academic stress on nursing students, resilience and academic
motivation mitigate the association between academic stress and self-directed learning. Academic
stress has a lessening influence on self-directed learning when resilience and academic drive act as
mediators. Programs that increase academic motivation and resilience should be supported by
nursing educators and administrators. Enhancing clinical and educational performance in the
We examined how the pandemic affected students' views of their own well-being, education,
and academic performance, as well as whether or not grit and resilience affected their capacity to
cope with the stress that comes with educational disruptions. It was our hypothesis that students
would report a negative impact and that the impact would be reduced for those who scored better
13
on grit and resilience. A survey was developed by a multidisciplinary team of educators and given
to medical students. ANOVA, multivariate linear regressions, and descriptive statistics were used
to evaluate the survey data. A statistically significant p-value was defined as less than.05. The study
comprised 195 students in total. Even those with higher grit levels expressed concern about the
negative impact on clinical education, with almost 92% reporting this. Pupils who scored higher
on resilience expressed greater optimism toward their clinical education. Resilience ratings were
positively correlated with lower rates of anxiety, sleeplessness, and fatigue. Students who shown
greater resilience were able to cope with the stress brought on by the disturbance to their education.
Because every year has different demands, resilience training ought to be integrated into the UME
curriculum and tailored to the needs of the individual year (LA Haskett., et al 2022).
It appears that professionals in various fields and students alike experience burnout, with
resilience being one of the factors whose formation and maintenance have been investigated. In
this study, we examine the relationship between burnout and resilience in teaching students,
examining how fatigue develops as students advance academically and whether there may be
variations in burnout based on varying resilience levels. Our findings show a strong and negative
correlation between resilience and burnout. Over the course of the studies, burnout levels rise
dramatically from the first to the third year, and then start to decline at the conclusion of the fourth
and final year of the degree. Additionally, there is a correlation between participants' resilience and
their lack of burnout. Our study is quite interesting because it sheds light on certain trends regarding
the occurrence and management of burnout in educational science students. This helps to maximize
the efforts to be carried out in the areas of preventive and intervention (A Fernández-Castillo., et
al 2023).
It is crucial to examine student’s resilience since studies have linked it to both their academic
success and their ability to persevere in the face of obstacles. Although surveys can be used to
14
measure student resilience directly, they have drawbacks such as intentional concealing of genuine
answers and human memory errors. Using a quasi-experimental design, ACREA characterizes
academic obstacles that students encounter and assesses how successfully they overcome them.
We analyze various effects of past setbacks on future term and course performance by using
had a major impact on more future academic outcomes. The analysis's conclusions help us
comprehend students' resilience by looking at how they perform after facing academic challenges.
If students' academic performance does not improve after a setback, other strategies to build their
resilience may be considered. The results may also help students by providing them with improved
guidance on how to bounce back from academic setbacks (AT Widjaja., et al 2021).
The impact of resilience and coping strategies on the relationship between academic
procrastination and maladaptive perfectionism in nursing undergraduates has not been examined
in prior research. Reducing academic procrastination and igniting nursing students' interest for
learning are crucial steps towards mitigating nursing loss and enhancing nursing quality. There was
a cross-sectional investigation. From March to May of 2022, 665 nursing undergraduates in China
were chosen using a convenience sample technique. Questionnaires were used to measure
academic procrastination, resilience, maladaptive perfectionism, and coping style. The model was
tested using Hayes' PROCESS Macro in SPSS 25.0, Pearson's correlation analysis, and descriptive
analysis. The findings demonstrated a strong correlation between each of the following variables:
nursing undergraduates. The correlations for these variables ranged from -0.290 to 0.584.
Furthermore, resilience accounted for 15.70% of the overall effect and partially mediated
maladaptive perfectionism and academic procrastination; positive coping style modulated this
process in the interim. Academic procrastination among nursing undergraduates was positively
15
predicted by maladaptive perfectionism; resilience and a positive coping style served as a mediator
mechanism with moderating effects to further explain how maladaptive perfectionism encouraged
academic delay in nursing undergraduates. Knowing this process is crucial for nursing educators
to lower the likelihood that undergraduate nursing students would put off their academic work (H
Huang ., et al 2022).
Resilience in the future is fostered in students by effective schools, which protect them from
the negative impacts of adversity on learning and positive adjustment in the present. This chapter
emphasizes the complex role that schools play in resilience by drawing on research on student
engagement from educational psychology and the development literature regarding resilience in
children. We define resilience as a dynamic system's ability to successfully adjust to threats to its
survival, development, or function. We look at the various roles that play in fostering and
behavioral, emotional, and cognitive processes that link students to their school communities and
the learning process. Increased access to resources and resilience capacity that can shield
vulnerable children from acute and long-term adverse childhood experiences is made possible by
student engagement. It also helps to foster the development of resilience factors that are widely
recognized as the foundation for future competence and resilience. The mechanisms by which
educational systems can foster and support student resilience through multisystem interactions are
mediated, moderated, and reflected by student engagement processes. Along with the various ways
that schools support and foster these key elements, a "short list" of resilience factors that are
consistently linked to student resilience is outlined. Schools have the capacity to reduce risk, offer
a wide range of resources and opportunities, and foster strong adaptive systems that help people
become more resilient in the future, as well as the communities and societies in which they live
The collection of papers that was previously addressed offers information that links several

resilience. It is also considered as a behavior that is vital in the career of nursing, by being able to
manage one’s time and organize their daily activities it could improve resiliency and overcome the
Academic procrastination, which is defined as postponing tasks that are due on a given date,
was also mentioned. Students that engage in this behavior may have negative consequences that
impact both their academic performance and resilience. Compared to the working population,
students are more likely to procrastinate academically. This could be because of a variety of
circumstances. During the pandemic, the mode of teaching was switched to online learning, and it
was noted that many distractions, including computers and mobile phones, affected student
performance.
circumstances in the classroom as well as to successfully handle academic setbacks, stress, anxiety,
and study pressure. Additionally, it's critical to prevent procrastination in order to preserve each
student's mental health. To do this, students must learn effective time management skills in order
to complete their academic assignments on time and avoid cramming, which has detrimental effects
on their performance.
Theoretical Framework
Academic Procrastination by Pintrich & Schraubern (1992). They found that academic
According to the social cognitive theory, students with high levels of academic self-efficacy employ
cognitive techniques more frequently, better manage their time and learning environments, and
maintain a greater focus on their learning. Students who are less likely to procrastinate are probably
also more likely to have stronger academic self-efficacy, which leads to higher performance in
school. In addition to that, it is being also said in the study of Bandura, 1997; Burka & Yuen, 1983;
Judge & Bono, 2001 that college students' academic procrastination shows a lack of discipline and
can result in lower academic accomplishment when accompanied with a lower level of self-
Academic Resilience measures the capacity of students to keep going and improve their
level of success in the midst of serious problems or the existence of severe risk factors. In the study
of Dunn LB, Iglewicz A, Moutier C. (2008) Time management is an essential indicator of student’s
resilience, and for some, the same stressor can even improve resilience. These students might
develop more independent study techniques, time management skills, and self-directed learning.
Kestler, Taasoobshirazi, Johnson, and Jackie (2015) their research has shown that more resilient
students use time management techniques than less resilient students, and that resilient students
achieve higher levels when they have good time management skills.

Research Design
This research is a quantitative study, that emphasize the objective measurements and the
statistical numerical analysis of data collected through the researchers validated survey
questionnaire. The correlational research design is appropriate for this study due to the use of two
or more quantitative variables in the prediction of a relationship (Sert et al., 2023). It employs to
explore how time management influences the relationship between academic procrastination and
academic resilience. Also, the study aims to predict that time management may impact the
academic resilience by promoting better organization and task completion and academic
procrastination are not highly provide impact to academic resilience by increasing stress and
Setting
The study was conducted in a private higher education institution in Davao City, Philippines.
It was established in 1975 by a group of doctors who had earlier founded its mother company. It has
grown from a modest beginning, 44 years ago to become a prestigious learning institution. For three
decades, the institution has been well-known for consistently producing top-notchers in the
Philippines Nursing Licensure Examination (PNLE). As a result, the program attracted more aspiring
nurses and produced professionals known and acknowledged in their fields of specialization. This
institution also offers other allied health sciences programs and management courses and it is being
23
consistent with its vision to become primary player in healthcare education. It established as a school
with a single program and has expanded into a college with thirteen undergraduate programs, two
graduate programs, and a senior high school program. Moreover, the researcher was also enrolled
here. Aside from that, the researcher conducts this study in this institution since the target participant
is a student from this institution's Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and has enough

Measures
To collect data for this study, the questionnaires are used to determine the moderating effect
of the time management on the relationship between Academic procrastination and academic
resilience among the level 3 nursing students of one private Higher Education Institution in Davao
City. The questionnaire of time management is made by Suzanne M. White for her study titled
For the Academic Procrastination, it is developed by Abu-Ghazal and it is being adopted in the
study of Ahmad M. Mahasneh together with his colleague titled “The Relationship between
Students” with a Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of 0.89. Also, for Academic Resilience it is
being adopted in the study of Andrew J. Martine and Herbert W. Marsh titled “Academic
Resilience and its Psychological and educational Correlates: A Constructive Validity Approach”
with a Cronbach alpha of .89. This questionnaires are adopted and used as an instrument in
25
gathering data that will be distributed to the chosen respondents. The first portion of the
questionnaire contains eighteen (18) questions that determine the academic procrastination with
five-point Likert scale to measure. The second portion has six (6) questions to assess the academic
resilience with a seven-point Likert scale to measure. There are thirty (30) questions that determine
the time management with a four-point Likert scale to measure and determine the levels of each
sub-element.
Ethical Consideration
The following ethical consideration were made in the conduct of the study:
Social Value. In the conduct of the study, the study aims to determine the moderating effect
of time management on the relationship between academic procrastination and academic resilience
among nursing students. The purpose of this study is to gather data from the students and identify
the effect of time management on academics. The result of the study will further provide
knowledge to the people who are concerned when it comes to how the nursing students
academically perform despite of the continuous pressure from return demonstrations, assignments,
activities, exam, quizzes and hospital exposure. Findings of the study will be disseminated to the
community accordingly most specifically to those who will benefit from it the most.

This study will utilize a Partial least Square-Structural Equation Modeling to determine the
moderating effect of the time management on the relationship between academic procrastination
and academic resilience. The study will be conducted in a non- sectarian, private institution of
higher education located at General Malvar Street Poblacion, District, Davao City, Davao del Sur.
In this study the respondents will be third-year Nursing students who are currently enrolled at the
previously mentioned private higher institution. The total number of respondents are 74 students
that are included in the study, respondents were chosen using the stratified random sampling
method. The study will be conducted during the second semester of school year 2023-2024 and the
data will be collected using the online questionnaires by the use of electronic forms, and the data
This chapter presents the data collected, statistically treated and presented into tables for

Note: 4.00-3.40 – Very High; 3.39-2.50 – High; 2.49-1.75 – Low; 1.74-1.00 – Very Low
Table 5 shows the level of time management among third year nursing students. The results
showed that the statement “I wear a watch or carry a cell phone to keep track of the time” garnered
the highest mean of 3.64, which has a descriptive interpretation of high. The result implies that
devices that help in telling time serves as a constant reminder for the student nurses to be constantly
aware of time allowing them to be more focused on the task while keeping on track with schedules
and deadlines, and allocating time accordingly (Haleem 2020). This is due to the fact that these
devices provide a visual representation of time, serving as a constant reminder of its passage of
time. This constant awareness helps student nurses remain focused on their tasks, stay on track
with schedules and deadlines, and effectively allocate their free time to different responsibilities.
In addition, the statement “My mood affects my ability to manage my time” has the lowest
mean of 1.57, which has a descriptive interpretation of very low. The result implies that the third
year nursing students’ mood has little to no effect on their ability to manage time. This could be
attributed to their disciplined approach to time management, the importance they place on meeting
academic and professional obligations, or perhaps their ability to compartmentalize emotions from
their tasks (Lieberman 2019). Essentially, their consistent and effective time management skills
32
appear to outweigh any potential impact of mood fluctuations. It is because to various factors such
as experience in handling stress, effective coping mechanisms, and a strong sense of responsibility
towards their academic and professional commitments. Additionally, they might have developed
strategies to separate their emotions from their tasks, allowing them to maintain focus and
Overall, the level of time management among third year nursing students got a categorical
mean of 3.0 which is interpreted as high. Based on this result, the third year nursing students, most
of the time, manage their time effectively when it comes to their academics. Therefore, efficient
time management is an essential tool to cope with these challenges without falling behind in the
curriculum and eventually dropping out. It helps students to understand the effort that is required
for effective learning and enables them to structure their learning activities and develop appropriate

Low
Table 6 presents the Nursing Students’ Level of Academic Procrastination. In the result of
each of the questions in the questionnaire of the academic procrastination given to the participants,
the statement with the highest mean is “I finish my duties before the deadline”, which garnered a
mean of 4.17568 and has a descriptive interpretation of high. In which most of the respondents
answered “Agree” in the five-point Likert-scale specifically for academic procrastination. This
means that most of the students finish their task before the day of the allocated date of submission.
33
It may indicate a proactive approach to task completion, allowing students to allocate sufficient
time for revisions or unforeseen challenges, and this reflects positively on the students' ability to
manage their academic responsibilities efficiently and meet deadlines consistently (Ahmet 2020).
This application in completing tasks before deadlines could be due to various factors such as
commitments, intrinsic motivation to perform well, and a desire to avoid the stress associated with
last-minute submissions. Additionally, it may arise from a proactive approach to task management,
allowing students to allocate time effectively and plan ahead to meet deadlines comfortably.
On the other hand, the statement “When exam time approaches, I find myself busy with
other things.” most of the respondents answered “Disagreed” in our five-point Likert-scale which
resulted in a mean of 2.35 and a descriptive interpretation of low. This means that most of the
students do not find themselves busy with other things than the exam preparation. Also, an

responsibilities to a moderate degree. A moderate level of engagement implies that the person
procrastinates on academic tasks to some extent, but it may not be extreme. This suggest that the
students still manage to complete their task within a reasonable time frame, possibly not as
effectively as they could if the students will not procrastinate (Gamst-Klaussen 2023). It is also

Table 7 presents the Nursing Students’ Level of Academic Resilience. In the result of the
questionnaire for the academic resilience given to the participants, the statements “I believe I'm
mentally tough when it comes to exams” and “I think I'm good at dealing with schoolwork
pressures.” got the same highest mean of 5.54 and a descriptive interpretation of high. Most of the
respondents “Agreed” in the seven-point Likert-scale, specifically, for academic resilience. This
means that they generally possess the ability to handle stress and pressure effectively. This is a
positive sign because it indicates that the student body as a whole is equipped with the skills and
mindset needed to navigate challenges and succeed academically. This will also access to
supportive resources such as peers, mentors, adaptability in adjusting to academic demands, and
strong motivation towards their academic goals and future aspirations. Together, these factors
contribute to the students' ability to effectively manage stress and pressure, creating a conducive
environment for academic success. In the study of Mills 2020, it says that students work hard to
manage, juggle and cope with the multiple requirements. It reflects a supportive environment where
students are able to cope with the demands of studying and maintain a sense of balance and well-
being.
35
On the other hand, the statement “I don't let study stress get on top of me”, in which most
of the respondents answered 5 that has verbal description of “moderately agree” in our seven-point
Likert-scale. Although, it got the lowest mean of 5.36 it still has a descriptive interpretation of high.
This implies that most of the students moderately agree that they handle the pressures of studying
quite well. This could be because students have to develop effective coping mechanisms, possess
strong organizational skills, receive adequate support from peers or mentors, or have access to
resources that help them manage academic pressure. Additionally, it might indicate a resilient
mindset and the ability to prioritize tasks effectively, allowing them to navigate the pressure of
studying with confidence that implies that most students have developed sufficient coping
mechanisms and organizational skills to manage the pressures of studying effectively. It also
suggests that they possess a resilient mindset, allowing them to prioritize tasks and navigate
Overall, the result shows that the Academic Resilience has a mean of 5.48 which has a
descriptive interpretation of High and implies that the 3rd year nursing students are involved in
attaining successful academics despite facing significant challenges. They keep trying hard, even
if they face problems or things don't go well. These students have a strong belief in themselves and
their ability to do better if they work hard. They also have good support from people like teachers,
friends, or family, who help them stay positive and keep going. Resilient students demonstrate
qualities such as perseverance, adaptability, problem-solving skills, and a strong sense of self-
efficacy (Li 2022). Thus, it entails that resilient students refrain from giving up in difficult
situations. They persevere despite difficulties because they are aware that failures are inevitable.
They can adapt and come up with new strategies for success because they are adaptable and skilled
problem solvers. Additionally, they have self-belief, which keeps them inspired and prepared to

Table 8 presented above is the tabulated data of academic procrastination of third year
nursing students. It can be seen on the data that the strength of the relationship is weak and directly
proportional suggesting that the level of academic procrastination is correlated to an increase in the
level of academic resilience. Therefore, the third-year nursing students would defer studying until
tomorrow depending if they are academically resilient. This reveals that the third-year nursing
students voluntarily delay the intended course of action despite the possible negative consequences
as they depend only for academic resilience. As mentioned by Herut (2022), while procrastination
is typically characterized by the postponement of tasks and actions, many prevalence assessments
rely heavily on self-reported data. It's important to approach these estimates with care, as they
might not distinguish between severe or persistent procrastination and less severe instances. This
implies that while academic resilience is valuable for navigating academic challenges, relying
solely on resilience to address procrastination may lead to potential risks such as increased stress
and lower academic performance. Students should recognize the importance of developing
balanced time management strategies that prioritize proactive studying habits. By doing so, they
can optimize their academic outcomes and well-being, ensuring consistent success throughout their
academic journey.
37
Generally, the result shows that there is a positive significant relationship between the
academic procrastination and academic resilience of the respondents (r= 0.283, p<0.05).
Specifically, the strength of the relationship is weak and directly proportional. This implies that an
increase in the level of academic procrastination is correlated to an increase in the level of academic
resilience. Also, students who procrastinate may develop resilience as a coping mechanism to
manage the consequences of their procrastination. However, it also suggests a need for
interventions to address both procrastination and resilience simultaneously, as improving one may
positively impact the other. Additionally, understanding this relationship can inform targeted
support strategies to help students develop healthier study habits and enhance their resilience to
academic challenges.
Table 9 shows that there is a positive significant relationship between the academic
Procrastination and Academic Resilience of the respondents and that there is a noticeable
connection between these two factors among the respondents. In other words, as academic
increases, academic procrastination tends to decrease. This implies that students choosing to defer
38
studying until tomorrow based on their level of academic resilience are significant. This behavior
of the students suggests that students may rely heavily on their resilience to manage the
stress. It is need for interventions that address both procrastination and resilience simultaneously,
as solely depending on resilience may not be sufficient to mitigate the negative impacts of
procrastination in the long term. Moreover, understanding this, can guide the development of
targeted support strategies aimed at foster healthier study habits and enhancing resilience among
students. In other words, this relationship implies that students who are more resilient academically
may be less likely to procrastinate, while those who struggle with procrastination may also face
Overall, knowing how academic procrastination and academic resilience interact can have
a significant impact on educational interventions and support strategies that help students become
more productive study habits, time managers, and resilient in the face of academic difficulties. This
may develop interventions that are specific to the needs and difficulties that each student faces.
Also, it allows them to implement strategies that build resilience while addressing procrastination
in a specific way. Complete management of time training, building resilience programs that
emphasize growth mindset and ways to cope, and the creation of supportive networks inside
classrooms to give students the required guidance and help are a few examples of these initiatives.
Time management and academic resilience shows that the two variables time management
skills and academic resilience are not strongly related to each other among the respondents. In other
words, how well students manage their time does not appear to have a noticeable impact on their
level of academic resilience, or vice versa. It implies that while time management is important for
academic success, it may not be the primary factor influencing students' ability to overcome
academic challenges.
39
As a whole, academic challenges often extend beyond simply managing time efficiently.
Students may encounter obstacles such as complex subject matter, demanding assignments,
unfamiliar learning environments, or personal issues that require more than just effective time
management to overcome. For instance, understanding and mastering difficult concepts may
require critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and access to resources beyond just
allocating time. In addition to that, being good at managing time helps students do well in school,
but it's not the only thing that matters. Doing well in school depends on many things, like how
smart you are, the environment you learn in, your personality, how you feel, and the support you
get from friends and family. Therefore, while effective time management is undoubtedly beneficial,
it may not always be the primary factor determining students' ability to overcome academic
challenges.

reducing procrastination directly could potentially enhance academic resilience even when time

motivation, or coping strategies, are maybe more important and prominent in determining academic
resilience. This is because they may directly affect how students deal with challenges. For example,
if a student believes in themselves and thinks they can do well, they're more likely to keep trying
even when things get tough. Likewise, having supportive people around them who encourage and
help them can make a big difference. Feeling motivated and knowing how to cope when things
don't go as planned can also help students overcome from tough times.
In conclusion, while time management is important for doing well in school, Academic
success depends on many factors like how smart students are, the environment they're in, their
personality, how they feel, and the support they get from others. Also, other things like believing
in themselves, having support from friends and family, staying motivated, and knowing how to
handle tough situations can be even more important to overcome when things get hard. In Learning,
it involves a mix of different things because it's not just about memorizing facts or following
instructions. When we learn, our brains are processing information that makes connections, and
adapting to new situations. This process is influenced by several factors that contributes in its own
way to how well we understand and remember things. In addition, recognizing that learning is a
mix of many different things helps us understand that there's no one size fits all approach to
learning. By acknowledging the various factors that contribute to learning, we can adopt
approaches to education to better meet each person's needs. This implies that effective learning
strategies should take into account the many different kinds of factors that influence the learning
process. Rather than focusing only on one aspect, such as time management or intelligence. The
educators and learners should recognize the holistic strategy for learning and consider how factors
like environment, personality, emotions, and support systems collaborate to form learning
outcomes. By doing so, we can develop improved and flexible methods of instruction that take into
41
account the needs and abilities of every learner, and eventually promote a more inclusive and
Summary
In the field of nursing education, it is vital for the student nurses to acquire skills such as
time management to deal with the academic pressure and inconsistent situation that the student
shall face in order to achieve well academically. The most common trait the student practices is
procrastination which leads to poor performance in academics. Due to this, the researchers

negative outcome of procrastination. In order to improve resilience and reduce the inevitable
effect of procrastination the students, future researchers must explore potential factors that
could moderate the two variables AP & AR that could improve resilience.
2. The researchers suggest that this study could be continued using other research design such as
qualitative research such as interviews or focus groups to gain deeper insights into the
experiences of students with procrastination and resilience. Qualitative data can provide rich,
detailed information that quantitative data may not capture. Consider potential moderating
variables that could impact the relationship between academic procrastination and academic
resilience such as self-efficacy, social support, motivation, or coping strategies. It could have a
