NCT05730101
The purpose of this study is to evaluate two different treatment methods in a sample of procrastinating students of the University of Basel and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland. As first treatment, a cognitive-behavioral treatment has been chosen as these type of treatment already showed promising results in reducing students' procrastination behavior. The alternative to the more time-intensive cognitive-behavioral treatment is the application of imaginary pills to students suffering from procrastination. This study evaluates the potential of the cognitive-behavioral and the imaginary pill treatment to reduce procrastination in a three-arm randomized controlled trial with parallel group between-subject design.
NCT05829174
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of two cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) protocols for procrastination with an active control protocol including cognitive-behavioral elements and with a wait-list control group. The interventions will be delivered online in group settings. All three protocols include identical psychoeducation and cognitive modules related to procrastination, but will differ in the behavioral modules. The behavioral module in one protocol is focused on starting on time and realistic planning. The second protocol implements working time restriction. The active comparator protocol implements the pomodoro time management technique. The wait-list control group will receive one of the CBT protocols after the period of waiting. It is assumed that all active conditions will be superior to the wait-list control, and that CBT protocols will be superior to the protocol including the time management technique. Primary (procrastination) and secondary (depression and anxiety) measures will be collected prior and after the interventions (or waiting period in wait-list group) and after 6-months in the three active condition groups.
NCT06357364
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of and the neural changes following two cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) protocols for procrastination with a wait-list control group. The interventions will be delivered online in group settings. Both protocols include identical psychoeducation and cognitive modules aiming at identification and modification of dysfunctional automatic thoughts related to procrastination but will differ in the behavioral modules. The behavioral module in the first protocol is focused on timely beginning and realistic planning. The second protocol implements working time restriction. The wait-list control group will receive one of the CBT protocols after a waiting period that will last as long as the CBT intervention and the assessments performed directly after treatment. It is assumed that the interventions will be superior to the wait-list control. Primary (procrastination) and secondary (depression and anxiety) measures will be collected prior to and after the interventions (or waiting period in the wait-list group) and after 6 months in the two active condition groups. Additionally, neuroimaging measurements will be conducted before and after the interventions (or waiting period in the wait-list group). Approximately half of the participants will undergo functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), and another half will undergo electroencephalography (EEG). Both methods are aimed at exploring neural correlates of the expected improvements in participants' self-regulation abilities.
NCT06675838
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if a time management training program can effectively reduce procrastination behavior among intern nursing students. It will also explore the impact of this training on students' academic performance and well-being. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the training reduce procrastination behavior in nursing students? How does the training impact time management skills and academic outcomes? Researchers will implement a time management training program based on the Effective Teaching Model to analyze changes in procrastination behavior. Participants will: Attend a five-day training program, with daily sessions covering specific topics on time management and procrastination Complete a pre-test and post-test to measure changes in procrastination behavior Provide feedback on the training program and engage in practical workshops The study will be conducted at a private university in Istanbul over a four-month period from November 2024 to March 2025, targeting all intern nursing students (N=70). Data will be collected using a general procrastination scale and analyzed for significant changes in time management and procrastination behaviors using SPSS software.
NCT06493682
The behaviour of healthcare demand procrastination constitutes an obstacle for individuals to lead a healthy life, and an example of this is the low participation rate of women in pap-smear screening programs compared to the target population. It is known that motivational interviews are frequently used and effective in studies planned to change health behavior. According to the results of the power analysis, at least 104 women, 52 experimental and 52 control, should be included in the study. Data will be collected with the "Personal Information Form", "Healthcare Demand Procrastination Scale", "Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test" and "Evaluation Form for Cervical Cancer Screening Participation". Motivational interviews will be given to the women in the experimental group.
NCT06157710
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of an 8-week self-directed internet based CBT intervention on various psychological outcomes for young students struggling with procrastination in the UK. The psychological outcomes consist of motivation, depressive symptoms, impulsivity and anxiety. More specifically, the study aims to compare the effect of the intervention vs waitlist control at 8 weeks on primary and secondary outcomes. Additionally, the study aims to explore whether changes in primary and secondary outcomes as the result of the intervention are mediated or moderated by key intervention processes.
