BACKGROUND The use of self-directed learning has increased as an educational strategy in recent years. METHOD This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 383 undergraduate nursing students in Turkey. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale, and Time Management Questionnaire. RESULTS Mean scores were as follows: self-directed learning readiness, 159.12 (SD = 20.8); time management, 87.75 (SD = 12.1). A moderate positive correlation was found between self-directed learning readiness and time management values. Time management scores were 78.42 when self-directed learning readiness was = 149 and 90.82 when self-directed learning readiness was = 150, with a statistically significant difference (p = .000). CONCLUSION Level of self-directed learning and academic achievement were higher in students who managed their time well.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNursing Students In TurkeySelf-Directed Learning ReadinessTime ManagementArticle392E2E5294614392-s2.0-85063672962Q2WOS:00042821300000110.1097/01.NEP.0000000000000279
