The Relationship Between Hopelessness Level and Occupational Competence and Value and Time Management in University Students- A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
Purpose: The study aimed to determine university students' level of hopelessness and investigate its impact on their time management, occupational competence, and perceived importance.
Methods: The study was conducted with university students aged 18-25 years. After obtaining demographic information, hopelessness was assessed using the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), activity using the Activity Self-Assessment Scale (ASAS), and time management using the Time Management Inventory (TMI).
Results: A total of 366 healthy university students participated in the study. The mean score on the BHS was 5.37±4.57 (mild level). According to BHS, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between severe hopelessness and minimal and mild hopelessness, and also between moderate hopelessness and mild and minimal hopelessness in the activity-role competence sub-item of the ASAS (X2=39.186, p=0.001). In addition, according to the TMI, there was a statistically significant difference between those with severe hopelessness and those with minimal and mild hopelessness in the time planning sub-heading (X2=22.542, p=0,001). In the time attitudes sub-heading, there was a significant difference between those with severe hopelessness and those with minimal and mild hopelessness and between those with minimal hopelessness and those with moderate and mild hopelessness (X2=38.960, p= 0,001). The results of the multiple linear regression analysis indicated that hopelessness level and time planning variables were statistically significant predictors of students' activity-role competence levels.
Conclusion: The level of hopelessness in university students clearly affects their occupational performance and time management.
