Abstract

Background and Aim: In our time, efficiency and effectiveness are the highest goal and the most valuable destination of all managers and relies on three items of planning, organization and time management. Therefore, in order to increase educational productivity, students' time management skills should be improved. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of a codified educational program on improving time management skills in nursing students.
Methods: This was an interventional study. The research samples were 60 nursing students who were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The measurement tool was the standard Britton and Teaser time management questionnaire. The samples were divided into control and test groups. Then the workshop was conducted for the experimental group and eight weeks later time management skills in nursing students were measured with the mentioned tool. The data were analyzed by SPSS-21 software using independent t-test, Chi-square and Fisher, paired t-test, nonparametric statistical test Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the pre-test in terms of time management skills but in the post-test phase there was a significant difference between the two groups (P=0.039). And intra-group comparisons showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the pre-test and post-test in the control group (P=0.339) and the test group (P=0.157). In time management skill levels between the two groups according to the pre-test P < /em> = 0.944 and P < /em> = 0.167 after the test, there was no statistically significant difference. There were no significant differences in intra-group comparison but in the test group, the level of good increased from 8 to 14.
Conclusion: In this study, the positive effect of education on students has been confirmed and shows the appropriateness of this education and the use of its techniques by students to manage time. Due to the significant difference in the time management skill score in the post-test stage between the two groups, a well-designed program can be effective. Therefore, it is recommended that the managers and educational officials of nursing schools use this educational program in order to improve the level of knowledge and performance of students in the field of time management.
