A recent line of research concerns bedtime procrastination, its effects on sleep quality and duration, and the associated repercussions for health and wellbeing. The Bedtime Procrastination Scale is a brief, self-report instrument developed by Kroese et al. with the aim of evaluating this behavior and exploring its association with insufficient sleep, and hence with health. The aim was to develop and validate a Spanish version of the Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS-Sp) and to examine the relationship between bedtime procrastination and both general procrastination and self-control. The original BPS was translated from English into Spanish in accordance with international guidelines on the cross-cultural adaptation of measurement instruments. The sample for the validation study comprised 177 nursing students who completed a questionnaire requesting demographic data and which included the following instruments: the newly developed BPS-Sp, the Tuckman Procrastination Scale, and the Brief Self-Control Scale. Statistical analysis involved tests of normality (Kolmogorov-Smirnov), reliability (Cronbach’s alpha, test-retest), construct validity, and confirmatory factor analysis. Scores on the BPS-Sp showed excellent internal consistency (α = .83) and temporal stability (test-retest r = .84), as well as significant correlations with general procrastination (r = .26; p < .01) and self-control (r = −.17; p < .05). Confirmatory factor analysis showed an adequate fit for the single-factor solution proposed by Kroese et al. The results suggest that the BPS-Sp is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing bedtime procrastination in the Spanish-speaking population.

最近的一项研究涉及睡前拖延，它对睡眠质量和持续时间的影响，以及对健康和福祉的相关影响。睡前拖延量表是由 Kroese 等人开发的一种简短的自我报告工具。目的是评估这种行为并探索其与睡眠不足以及与健康的关系。目的是开发和验证西班牙版本的睡前拖延量表 (BPS-Sp)，并检查睡前拖延与一般拖延和自我控制之间的关系。最初的 BPS 是根据关于测量仪器跨文化适应的国际指南从英文翻译成西班牙文的。验证研究的样本包括 177 名护理学生，他们完成了一份要求提供人口统计数据的问卷，其中包括以下工具：新开发的 BPS-Sp、Tuckman 拖延量表和简要自我控制量表。统计分析涉及正态性检验（Kolmogorov-Smirnov）、可靠性（Cronbach's alpha，重测）、结构效度和验证性因素分析。BPS-Sp 的得分显示出极好的内部一致性 (α = .83) 和时间稳定性（重测 和验证性因素分析。BPS-Sp 的得分显示出极好的内部一致性 (α = .83) 和时间稳定性（重测 和验证性因素分析。BPS-Sp 的得分显示出极好的内部一致性 (α = .83) 和时间稳定性（重测r  = .84)，以及与一般拖延 ( r  = .26; p  < .01) 和自我控制 ( r  = -.17; p < .05) 的显着相关性。验证性因素分析表明，Kroese 等人提出的单因素解决方案非常适合。结果表明，BPS-Sp 是评估西班牙语人群就寝时间拖延的有效且可靠的工具。
