College students are expected to develop time management skills to minimize procrastination and best perform in the tasks they face during education, but many do not implement time management practices and nearly all have trouble focusing on and completing assignments. Contemporary work and theory suggest that time management does not have an effect on task performance, but it can improve self-efficacy, which does correlate with task performance. A time management tool that also worked to improve self-efficacy was thus used to see if increasing self-efficacy could decrease time spent on tasks, i.e., task performance. Analysis of data collected from time and mood tracking before and after intervention demonstrated a significant decrease in time spent working (p<0.001) and significant increases in actual and in perceived productivity (p=0.039 and p=0.009 respectively). The results suggest that implementing practices to improve time management and self-efficacy may increase task performance, but further research must be done to control for specific factors that may confound this effect.

AbstractProcrastination is consistently viewed as problematic to academic success and students’ general well-being. There are prevailing questions regarding the underlying and maintaining mechanisms of procrastination which are yet to be learnt. The aim of the present study was to combine different ways to explain procrastination and explore how students’ time and effort management skills, psychological flexibility and academic self-efficacy are connected to procrastination as they have been commonly addressed separately in previous studies. The data were collected from 135 students who participated in a voluntary time management and well-being course in autumn 2019. The results showed that students’ ability to organize their time and effort has the strongest association with procrastination out of the variables included in the study. Psychological flexibility also has a strong individual role in explaining procrastination along with time and effort management skills. Surprisingly, academic self-efficacy did not have a direct association with procrastination. Interestingly, our findings further suggest that time and effort management and psychological flexibility are closely related and appear to go hand in hand and, thus, both need to be considered when the aim is to reduce procrastination. The implications of the findings are further discussed.

Background and Aims: Medical errors are important in all fields of medicine and have larger consequences in risky and stressful fields like emergency medicine. Social carelessness can cause these errors. On the other hand better understanding of time perception can lead to increased power of management and better decision making. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effect of time management education on social procrastination among emergency medicine residents.Material and Methods: In this interventional study, 25 residents in intervention group had a time management workshops for two weeks and we evaluated them for social procrastination before and after intervention. 25 residents were studied and compared as control group. Results: Both groups were matched according to baseline findings. Married residents compared to single ones had significantly lower procrastination score (p=0.02). The serial changes in procrastination score after the workshop in intervention group was significantly higher that control group (p=0.006). Conclusion: Education time management skills workshops could be effective in reducing social procrastination among emergency medicine residents. Married residents possibly due to responsiveness in their marriage and management skills have low procrastination.

A university environment's freedom and flexibility can derail students who have not mastered time-management skills. During high school, they had a rigidly structured schedule but unfortunately, students often struggle to balance their academic, personal and work commitments when they are in the university.In university, the students will be challenged with many competing demands on their time. Consequently,many students simply choose to give up and let the situation takes its course. Without intervention from alecturer or parents, the student is unlikely to succeed and will end up with low academic results. Eventhough there are many apps that have been developed to assist them in managing time, the students needto ‘see time’ or in other words make time visual. Therefore, the SCAP is a worthwhile guideline that isspecially invented in promoting their time effectively and efficiently. Keywords: self-management tool, enhancement, learning experience

Abstract Background Time management skills are essential for living in modern society. People with mental or neurodevelopmental disorders typically have cognitive limitations, including affected time management, which might lead to poor occupational balance, low self-efficacy, and poor parental sense of competence. “Let’s Get Organized” (LGO) is a recently developed manual-based group intervention to train time management skills. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficiency of the Swedish version of LGO (LGO-S) compared to treatment as usual (individual occupational therapy) to improve time management for adults with impaired time management skills due to mental or neurodevelopmental disorders. Furthermore, to evaluate if the intervention is a cost-effective way to improve the quality of life and time management skills of these individuals, we will conduct a health economic evaluation. Methods The trial will have a multi-centre, open, parallel randomised controlled design. A total of 104 adults with cognitive limitations due to mental or neurodevelopmental disorders will be recruited from open psychiatric or habilitation care units. Outcomes will be measured before and after a 10-week intervention, with a follow-up 3 months after completing the intervention. The primary outcome will be self-assessed time management skills. Secondary outcomes will be e.g. self-assessed skills in organisation and planning, regulation of emotions, satisfaction with daily occupations, occupational balance, self-efficacy, and quality-adjusted life years. Discussion A recent feasibility study has shown promising results for LGO-S, and a randomised trial will provide robust evidence for the possible efficacy of LGO-S in comparison to treatment as usual.

Background & Objective: Acute renal failure (AKI) is one of the most important complications of PCI. Due to delay in creatinine increase, we need specific factors to detect AKI earlier. The aim of this study is to evaluate the valuable factors by focusing on HFAB-P that can be predictive for AKI after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Methods: This prospective study was performed on 95 patients (55 males and 44 females aged between 49-78 years) under PCI in Golestan and Imam Khomeini hospitals in Ahvaz. Patients were divided into three groups based on the development of AKI after the procedure: no AKI, severe AKI (doubling of serum creatinine or needing dialysis) and any type of AKI (increased creatinine ≥ 0/3 mg/dl or a 50% increase in the means of 1/5 times serum creatinine). The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, the medical history and the results of the HFABP marker, GFR, and creatinine before and after PCI were evaluated for all patients. Results: The progenies showed 6 patients with severe AKI, 17 patients with any type of AKI, and 72 patients without AKI. Diabetes (P = 0.003), hypertension (P = 0.027), gender of patients (P = 0.025) and hospital admission days (P <0.001) were significantly different among the groups. Patients' age and positive troponin were significantly higher in patients with AKI. HFABP was the only factor that had significant changes before and after PCI (P <0.001). The cut-off value of HFABP was 4.69 with 95.6% sensitivity and 84.7% specificity. It has a good negative predictive value of 98.39% which suggests it to be a good test for the AKI prediction. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) and creatinine (Cr) were significantly different after PCI (P <0.001). Conclusion: HFABP can be considered as a predictor for AKI after PCI. Moreover, our study suggests that evaluating several parameters such as Cr and GFR before and after PCI can predict the AKI development after PCI.
