Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Behavioral Science
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Procrastination is frequently cited in behavioral science but lacks a clear definition in nursing.
  • Conceptual ambiguity hinders research and intervention development in nursing practice.
  • Clarifying procrastination is essential for evidence-based nursing interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically define and operationalize procrastination within the nursing context.
  • To apply Walker and Avant's concept analysis methodology for conceptual clarity.
  • To establish a foundational framework for future nursing research on procrastination.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review guided by Walker and Avant's eight-step concept analysis framework.
  • Systematic search of 11 major databases for English-language articles published between 2003 and 2025.
  • Independent article screening and data extraction by two reviewers, achieving high inter-rater agreement (κ=0.86).

Main Results:

  • Three defining attributes of nursing procrastination: breakdown in self-regulation, awareness of negative consequences, and postponement of planned tasks.
  • Antecedents in nursing include work stress, low self-efficacy, fatigue, and compromised health.
  • Consequences encompass reduced care quality, burnout, decreased motivation, poor performance, and potential patient harm.

Conclusions:

  • Procrastination in nursing is a multidimensional construct involving intentional task avoidance with significant systemic implications.
  • The clarified conceptual framework supports future research and strategies in nursing education, management, and policy.
  • Mitigating procrastination can enhance care quality and improve healthcare provider well-being.
