What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Internet Based Intervention - GUIDEDOther
In the expert-supported application, each participant will be sent a folder to be shared by the user and the guide via Google Drive, and the user is expected to perform the application in the folder. A module is added to the folder every Monday and the participant is asked to complete the relevant module until Friday of the same week. In the following two days, a feedback message is provided by the expert, taking into account the user's responses.
Internet Based Intervention - WİTHOUT GUİDANCEOther
The developed implementation plan is communicated to the participants without expert support and their participation is ensured. A common folder will be created with the participants accepted to the study and in the group without expert support, and the process is managed by transmitting the module to the user via the folder every Monday.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Guided Web-Based Intervention | Experimental | Participants in this group will use the web-based intervention with guidance support. Receives: Other: Internet Based Intervention - GUIDED |
| Without Guidance Web-Based Intervention | Experimental | Participants in this group will use the web-based intervention without guidance support. Receives: Other: Internet Based Intervention - WİTHOUT GUİDANCE |
| Waitlist | No intervention | Participants will have no contact with the study team during the waiting period. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Tuckman Procrastination Behaviour Scale
Turkish adaptation of the scale consists of 14 items, five-point Likert type (1: strongly disagree-5: strongly agree) and one dimension. The evaluation of the Tuckman Procrastination Behaviour scale is made by taking the average of all items. The maximum score that can be obtained from the scale is expressed as five and the minimum score as one.
Measured: Time Frame: Pre-test, post-test (5 weeks later from pre-test), follow up (10 weeks later from pre-test)
Cognitive Distortions Questionnaire
Turkish adaptation of the form was developed by Batmaz et al. (2015) and consists of 15 items of 9 Likert type. The scale items can be used in short and ultra short form.The 9-item short form will be used to collect data from the study group. The 9-item short form will be used to collect data from the study group.
Measured: Time Frame: Pre-test, post-test (5 weeks later from pre-test), follow up (10 weeks later from pre-test)
Time Management Scale
The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 27 and the highest score is 135 (Alay \& Koçak, 2002). It was deemed appropriate for the evaluation of time management skills in the study group.
Measured: Time Frame: Pre-test, post-test (5 weeks later from pre-test), follow up (10 weeks later from pre-test)
Attitude Scale for Internet-Based Interventions
Apolinário-Hagen et al. (2018) is a measurement tool consisting of 16 items adapted into Turkish by Özer et al. (in the publication stage). Scale consists of two sub-dimensions named as "Perceived Usefulness and Usefulness" and "Relative Advantage and Comparability".
Measured: Time Frame: Pre-test, post-test (5 weeks later from pre-test), follow up (10 weeks later from pre-test)
