Using cross-sectional surveys given to nursing students at two junior colleges (n=347) and SPSS, Guo et. al. aimed to explore nursing students' academic procrastination and its relationship with emotional intelligence (EI) and self‐efficacy, and self‐efficacy's mediation of the relationship between EI and academic procrastination. Emotional intelligence (EI) and self‐efficacy were found to be negatively associated with academic procrastination. Students who reported lower EI and self‐efficacy may be at a higher risk of academic procrastination.

Guo et. al. pose that a larger focus on these influencing factors can help nursing educators and consultants develop intervention measures aimed at decreasing students' procrastination behavior.

Proposed by Albert Bandura, self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their own ability to successfully complete a specific task. This belief, which can be influenced by past successes in similar tasks, is considered a key factor in determining a person's motivation, emotional state, and subsequent behavior.
