Over the last decade, indoor pool games (IPGs) and substance abuse (SA) became a remarkable emerging addictive behavior among adolescent university students. With the failure of educational quality and retention of learners, boomerangs around the university local environment in line with the students' learning culture were not considered in many countries including Ethiopia. Thus, this study aimed to examine the trajectory and contribution of an IPG and SA to students' academic procrastination (AP) as determinants of quality education.
A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was employed. Self-reporting questionnaires, interview guides, and an observation checklist were used to collect data. All self-reporting items were adapted from previous scales. By using simple random sampling techniques, 237 undergraduate university students were selected for obtaining the quantitative data, and using purposive sampling, 12 interviewees were selected to collect the qualitative data. The SPSS AMOS version 25 was used to compute the multiple mediation path analysis. The Hayes PROCESS macro model was used. Furthermore, the thematic content analysis method was employed for the qualitative data.
A direct path analysis was established between IPG, SA, and AP. The path analysis model indicated that IPG did not significantly predict AP. Moreover, SA significantly predicted AP. In addition, SR had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between IPG, SA, and AP.
The study concluded that IPG and substances available around the university local environment found trajectories to students' AP, which in turn affects the quality of education.
在过去十年中，室内泳池游戏（IPG）和药物滥用（SA）在青少年大学生中成为一种显著的新兴成瘾行为。由于教育质量和学生留存率的问题，包括埃塞俄比亚在内的许多国家都没有考虑到与学生学习文化相契合的大学校园周边环境中的不利因素。因此，本研究旨在探讨IPG和SA对学生学业拖延（AP）的影响轨迹及作用，而学业拖延是优质教育的决定因素。
采用序列解释性混合方法设计。使用自填式问卷、访谈提纲和观察清单收集数据。所有自填式项目均改编自先前的量表。通过简单随机抽样技术，选取237名本科大学生获取定量数据，采用目的抽样法选取12名受访者收集定性数据。使用SPSS AMOS 25版计算多重中介路径分析。采用Hayes PROCESS宏模型。此外，对定性数据采用主题内容分析法。
在IPG、SA和AP之间建立了直接路径分析。路径分析模型表明，IPG对AP没有显著预测作用。此外，SA对AP有显著预测作用。此外，SR在IPG、SA和AP之间的关系中具有部分中介作用。
该研究得出结论，IPG和大学校园周边环境中可得的物质对学生的AP产生了影响轨迹，进而影响了教育质量。
