Abstract
This study examines the relationship between procrastination, academic performance, and mental health in university students. The objective of the study is to relate procrastination, academic performance, and mental health in university students at the Universidad Regional Autónoma de los Andes (UNIANDES) in Ecuador, specifically in the fields of Clinical Psychology, Law, and Medicine. A quantitative research design was used with a non-probabilistic sample of 60 students. The results reveal that Clinical Psychology students exhibit the highest levels of procrastination, while Medicine students achieve the highest average grades and mental health scores. A significant negative relationship is observed between procrastination and academic performance. The conclusion indicates that procrastination negatively impacts academic performance, highlighting the need to develop specific strategies to manage procrastination and improve student well-being
