Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Occupational Balance Questionnaire-11 (OBQ11-T)

  Includes 11 items scored on a four-point Likert scale (0-3), measuring the alignment and satisfaction of participants' daily activities and roles. Total scores range from 0 to 33, with higher scores indicating better occupational balance and more effective management of daily responsibilities.

  Baseline (one-time assessment)

• Time Management Questionnaire (TMQ)

  Consists of 27 items rated on a five-point Likert scale from "never" to "always," and evaluates students' ability to organize, plan, and effectively allocate their time. Higher scores indicate stronger time management skills, supporting more effective academic performance.

  Baseline (one-time assessment)

• Perceived Stress Scale (T-PSS-10)

  Is a 10-item questionnaire measuring the degree to which individuals perceive situations in their lives as stressful. Each item is scored on a five-point Likert scale ranging from "never" to "very often," with four items reverse scored. Total scores range from 0-40, with 0-13 indicating low perceived stress, 14-26 indicating moderate stress, and 27-40 indicating high perceived stress.
