Abstract
Objectives The purposes of this study were to o examine the mediating effects of self-compassion and emotional intelligence on smartphone addiction and academic procrastination behavior among nursing undergraduates.
 Methods Data was obtained via an online survey conducted from May to June 2023, with senior nursing students and multi-mediating effects were analyzed using the PROCESS macro for SPSS software, utilizing bootstrap techniques.
 Results Smartphone addiction showed a negative correlation with self-compassion. Academic procrastination and sma rtphone addiction showed a positive correlation, and self-compassion and emotional intelligence each showed a negative correlation. Smartphone addiction and self-compassion showed a negative correlation. The indirect effect of smartphone on academic procrastination behavior through self-compassion had significant mediating effects(Std. estimate=-.0213, CI: -.0518~.0048). However, emotional intelligence was not a mediating effect (Std. estimate=-.0110, CI: -.0505~.0264). There was a significant indirect effect of smartphone addiction on academic procrastination behavior through self-compassion and emotional intelligence (Std. estimate=.0470, CI: .0217~.0796).
 Conclusions The findings highlight the necessity of nursing education interventions for enhancing self-compassion and emotional intelligence, ultimately improving caregiving competency in nursing undergraduates.
