Objectives: Procrastination can be described as the delay of a task despite being aware of the potential negative consequences this behaviour can create. Procrastination behavior can cause anxiety and discomfort, therefore it can disturb the life quality. Academic procrastination which is a subtype of procrastination, is common among students. Our aim is to evaluate the mean score of procrastination among students of Marmara University Faculty of Medicine, its effects on the grade point average (GPA) of the students and its relationships with personality factors. Materials and Methods: In our study a sociodemographic questionnaire including 12 questions, Tuckman academic procrastination scale (TAPS), Roseberg Self-esteem scale and the Hewitt and Flett Multidimensional Perfectionism scale (HFPS) were completed by the participants online. Results: Two hundred twenty-seven students from all classes from 1 to 6th grade participated in the study. 62.1% of the participants are women. Academic procrastination was less common in those with physical activity habits (p=0.012). Socially prescribed perfectionism was observed more in those with insufficient income (p=0.033). A statistically significant relationship was found between psychiatric illness and TAPS, HFPS (p Conclusion: As a result, it has been revealed that participants with high socially focused perfectionism exhibit more academic procrastination behavior. Students with low self-esteem levels exhibit more academic procrastination and their socially prescribed perfectionism levels are high. It was observed that the relationship between the socially prescribed perfectionism and academic procrastination of the participants diagnosed with psychiatric illness was statistically significant. There was no statistically significant relationship between GPA and academic procrastination behavior, self-esteem and socially prescribed perfectionism. Keywords: Procrastination, self-esteem, perfectionism Amac: Erteleme davranisi, olumsuz sonuclari olabileceginin bilinmesine ragmen bir eyleme baslamayi ya da eylemi bitirmeyi geciktirmektir. Erteleme davranisi bireylerde kaygi ve rahatsizliklara sebep olarak gunluk yasam kalitesini bozabilmektedir. Ertelemenin bir alt turu olarak akademik erteleme, ozellikle ogrenciler arasinda yaygindir. Bu calismanin amaci Marmara Universitesi Tip Fakultesi ogrencileri arasinda erteleme davranisi gosterenlerin ortalama erteleme skorunu ve ogrencilerin genel agirlikli not ortalamasina (GANO) etkisini arastirmak ve bireylerin kisilik ozellikleri ile erteleme davranisinin iliskisini degerlendirmektir. Gerec ve Yontem: Calismamizda, katilimcilara 12 adet sosyodemografik soru, Tuckman akademik erteleme olcegi (TAEO), Rosenberg Oz Saygi olcegi ve Hewitt ve Flett cok boyutlu mukemmeliyetcilik olcegini (HFMO) iceren sorular cevrimici olarak sorulmustur. Bulgular: Arastirmaya, 1'den 6'ya kadar tum siniflardan 227 ogrenci katilmistir. Katilimcilarin %62,1'i kadinlardan olusmaktadir. Fiziksel aktivite aliskanligi olanlarin akademik erteleme davranisi daha az gorulmustur (p=0,012). Geliri yetersiz olanlarin sosyal odakli mukemmeliyetciligi daha fazla gorulmustur (p=0,033). Psikiyatrik hastalik tanisi almis katilimcilarin, TAEO ve HFMO arasinda da istatiksel olarak anlamli iliski bulunmustur (p Sonuc: Sosyal odakli mukemmeliyetciligi yuksek olan katilimcilarin daha fazla akademik erteleme davranisi sergiledikleri ortaya konmustur. Oz saygi seviyesi dusuk olan ogrencilerin daha cok akademik erteleme davranisi gosterdikleri ve sosyal odakli mukemmeliyetcilik duzeylerinin yuksek oldugu gozlenmistir. Psikiyatrik hastalik tanisi almis katilimcilarin mukemmeliyetciligin sosyal alt boyutu ve akademik ertelemeyle iliskisi istatistiksel olarak anlamlidir. Katilimcilarin GANO degerleri ile akademik erteleme davranisi, oz saygi ve sosyal odakli mukemmeliyetcilik arasinda istatistiksel olarak anlamli bir iliski bulunmamistir.
