%X Academic procrastination among nursing students can undermine learning engagement, contribute to higher dropout rates, and compromise the quality of nursing education. Understanding the factors that influence procrastination is therefore essential. This study explored whether coping strategies and resilience serve as mediating factors in the link between parenting styles and academic procrastination in undergraduate nursing students. A cross-sectional survey was administered to 683 nursing undergraduates in China from March to May 2022. Participants completed questionnaires assessing parenting styles, coping strategies, resilience, and academic procrastination. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and mediation analyses via Hayes’ PROCESS Macro in SPSS 25.0. Positive parenting styles were associated with lower levels of academic procrastination, both directly and indirectly through three mechanisms: increased use of positive coping strategies, reduced reliance on negative coping strategies, and enhanced resilience. Negative parenting styles were linked to higher academic procrastination directly and indirectly through greater use of negative coping strategies and lower resilience. The mediating effects accounted for notable proportions of the total relationships. Interventions aiming to reduce academic procrastination in nursing students should consider not only parenting influences but also students’ coping approaches and resilience levels, promoting strategies that strengthen positive coping and resilience.
