Abstract: Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of student nurses' attitudes toward leisure time and its management on their academic performance. Design: This research was designed as an analytical cross‐sectional study. Methods: The study population consisted of 859 nursing students. A stratified proportional sampling method was used to ensure representation from each academic year. Accordingly, the planned sample included 57 1st year, 76 2nd year, 63 3rd year, and 70 4th year students. Ultimately, a total of 293 students who met the inclusion criteria and voluntarily agreed to participate between January and June 2023 were included in the study. Data collection tools were the Descriptive Information Form, Leisure Attitude Scale, and Free Time Management Scale. The number and percentage distributions and descriptive statistics of the descriptive characteristics were calculated. The chi‐square test and Mann–Whitney U test were used in univariate analyses, and logistic regression analyses were used in multivariate analyses. Results: According to the results, significant predictors of student nurses' academic achievement included traveling/exploring new places, gender, and participation in sports activities. A significant difference was found between student nurses' general academic classification and scores on the free time management scale, free time attitude, and technique subdimensions. Moreover, student nurses who effectively managed their leisure time exhibited positive attitudes toward leisure and planned their leisure activities consciously achieved higher academic success. Conclusions: Traveling/exploring new places, gender, and participation in sports activities were identified as key factors influencing student nurses' academic achievement. Recommendations include prioritizing academic support for male nurses, conducting further research on the impact of "traveling" and "exercise" on student nurse learning outcomes, and integrating leisure time education into the undergraduate curriculum.
