Abstract:

The study was conducted to determine the perceived effects of procrastination on the social development of nursing students. The respondents are 80 college nursing students. In the study, Descriptive-correlational research design was used while the quota and the stratified sampling methods were utilized. The findings revealed that majority of the respondents are female, 3rd year and 4th year, and aged between 21-25 years old. The students agreed that the common act of procrastination was browsing social media or internet aimlessly instead of completing their task. Similarly, the students engaged into procrastination to the extent that they almost always do it because they felt anxious. Furthermore, the results showed that students moderately agreed that the effects of procrastination on their social development made them cram and made them sleepless. It also revealed that there was no significant difference in the acts of procrastination of students according to the demographic profile.
