Improvement in Time Management Skills
This outcome measure will evaluate the effectiveness of the "Time Management and Procrastination Behavior Management Training" on participants' time management skills. Participants will complete a standardized questionnaire assessing their self-reported time management abilities before and after the training to identify any significant changes. Student Information Form: This form consists of 8 questions regarding the socio-demographic information of immigrant students, including their country of origin, health status, and the healthcare institutions they have accessed. General Procrastination Scale: The General Procrastination Scale, developed by Çakıcı (2003), measures students' tendencies to procrastinate. The scale consists of 18 items rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale, and includes two subscales: "Procrastination" (items 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18) and "Time Management" (items 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17).
