Description
Sonia Rahimi and co-authors reviewed studies in 2025 on procrastination in medical students, meaning the willing delay of a task despite known harm. Medical school is high stress, and putting work off is common among its students. The team searched three databases and kept 26 papers that met their rules.
Studies looked at delay in school work and in bedtime, and linked delay to lower grades, weaker self-control skills, and lower self-esteem. Delay also linked to more stress, anxiety, and phone overuse. The authors urge programs that help students spot their delay habits and feelings early, with clear goals and support to break the pattern.
