Abstract

Objective To analyze the differences of academic procrastination among medical students with different demographic characteristics. To explore the moderating effects of peer pressure and learning atmosphere on the relationship between medical students ′ career calling and academic procrastination. Methods From July to August 2021, a total of 2 500 students majoring in clinical medicine and nursing from five medical colleges in China were investigated by using the career calling scale, academic procrastination scale, peer pressure scale and learning atmosphere scale. Descriptive statistical analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, regression analysis and other methods were used to analyze the data. Results The total average score of academic procrastination was 2.62±0.85. The results of single factor analysis showed that the academic procrastination of female students was higher than that of male students (P<0.001); the academic procrastination of sophomores and juniors was higher than that of freshmen (P<0.001); the degree of academic procrastination of nursing students was higher than that of clinical medical students (P<0.001). The medical students who grew up under the neglected family upbringing style had the highest degree of academic procrastination, and the medical students who grew up under the authoritative family upbringing style had the lowest degree of academic procrastination (P<0.001). The degree of academic procrastination of non-only children was higher than that of only children (P=0.018); the degree of academic procrastination of medical students from non-rural areas was higher than that of medical students from rural areas (P=0.013); there was no significant difference in the degree of academic procrastination between student cadres and non-student cadres (P=0.309). The academic procrastination of medical students was negatively correlated with career calling (r= -0.203, P<0.01), peer pressure (r= -0.249, P<0.01) and learning atmosphere (r= -0.205, P<0.01). Peer pressure (β=0.479, P=0.008) and learning atmosphere (β=0.423, P=0.013) can play a moderating role between career calling and academic procrastination. Conclusions Medical colleges can reduce students′ academic procrastination and improve learning efficiency by strengthening medical students′ career calling education, creating a good learning atmosphere, and strategically using peer factors.
