Abstract
PURPOSE
This study investigated nursing students' levels of internet addiction (IA) and time management (TM) skills.
DESIGN AND METHODS
This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 400 nursing students of a university in Turkey. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, IA Scale, and TM Inventory.
FINDINGS
The IA scale and TM inventory mean scores were 40.83 ± 14.81 and 81.34 ± 11.91, respectively. A significantly negative relationship between students' level of IA and TM skills was found (p <0.05).
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS
The concept of effective time management should be used in interventions for promoting students' conscious internet use.
