The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between nursing students' academic procrastination and stress levels during the pandemic. The descriptive and correlational study has been conducted between November 15–22, 2020 with 218 students in the nursing department of a health sciences faculty of a public university. "Personal Information Form", "Academic Procrastination Scale" and "Perceived Stress Scale" have been used to collect data. The data have been analyzed with; descriptive statistics, student t test, One – Way Anova test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The students' Academic Procrastination Scale mean score is 53.66 ± 7.22, Perceived Stress Scale Insufficient Self-Efficacy Scale mean score is 12.19 ± 3.06, Perceived Stress / Discomfort subscale mean score is 15.83 ± 3.83, and the scale total mean score is 28.03 ± 5.59 points. A very weak positive correlation between the academic Procrastination Scale mean score of the students and the Insufficient Self-Efficacy Sub-dimension of the Perceived Stress Scale (r = 0.193, p = 0.004) and the total scale score (r = 0.151, p = 0.026) has been detected. A statistically significant difference has been found between academic procrastination behaviors (p = 0.035), Insufficient Self-Efficacy Scale (p = 0008), Perception of Stress / Anxiety (p = 0.003) and perceived stress (p = 0.004) with gender of students. As a result, it has been determined that nursing students have; moderate academic procrastination, insufficient self-efficacy perception and a slightly above average stress/ discomfort perception. As academic procrastination of the students increases. their perceived stress level increases.
