Resumen

Objective: At present, the Internet has become a popular resource that is used by people to communicate, exchange information or entertain. However, if used excessively and compulsively, it could cause a series of repercussions that would affect the development of responsibilities. In this sense, the objective of the present investigation was to determine if Internet addiction is significantly related to academic procrastination in nursing students from a Peruvian public university. Method: The research approach was quantitative; the design was non-experimental and the type corresponded to a descriptive-correlation study of transverse cutting. The sample was made up of 187 students to whom the Lima Internet Addiction Scale and the Academic Procrastination Scale were applied, both instruments with adequate levels of validity and reliability. Results: Preliminary, it was found that students were characterized by moderate levels of Internet addiction and academic procrastination. In addition, it was determined that Pearson's correlation coefficient between both variables was 0.639 (p<0.05). Significant correlations were also observed between Internet addiction and academic self-regulation (r= -0.582, p<0.05), as well as the postponement of activities (r= 0.676, p<0.05). On the other hand, significant correlations were found between academic procrastination and symptomatological characteristics (r= 0.603, p<0.05) and dysfunctional characteristics (r= 0.627, p<0.05). Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between Internet addiction and academic procrastination in Peruvian nursing students of a Peruvian public university. Therefore, the relevant university authorities must sensitize students about the negative consequences that excessive use of the Internet can cause.
