“…Despite the above, the relationship between practice and training in EI skills and mindfulness has been little studied among health professionals. As professionals who show a combination of technical skills and high levels of EI can provide more humanized health care [12], it would be convenient to offer interventions, programs or training based on mindfulness to healthcare professionals, in order to promote and develop their EI [42][43][44]. This paper aims to identify the recent evidence on the relationship between mindfulness and emotional intelligence among healthcare professionals and students.…”

Emotional intelligence is an essential trait and skill for healthcare professionals. Mindfulness meditation has proved to be effective in increasing the wellbeing of those who practice it, leading to better mental health, self-care and job satisfaction. This paper aims to identify the recent evidence on the relationship between mindfulness and emotional intelligence among healthcare professionals and students. A systematic review was conducted including the databases PubMed, Cinhal, PsycINFO and Web of Science. The main variables were emotional intelligence skills and mindfulness practice. Data were extracted according to the following outcomes: authors, year of publication, country, study design, participants, mindfulness training intervention, tools used in data collection and main results. The following inclusion criteria were applied: peer-reviewed articles; published in English or Spanish; published between 2010 and 2020; quantitative methodology; a study population of healthcare professionals or students; the relationship with the aim of the study. The Joanna Briggs Institute criteria were followed for assessing the methodological quality of the selected studies. Three researchers were involved in the review. After the selection process, 10 studies were selected out of the 197 references initially identified. These studies revealed a positive relationship between mindfulness and emotional intelligence, particularly the capacity to regulate emotions. Furthermore, mindfulness is negatively related to emotional exhaustion. Training interventions based on mindfulness have proved to be useful in promoting emotional balance, emotional awareness, emotional acceptance, emotion recognition, expressive suppression and a reduction in emotional exhaustion. This study could serve as a basis for further research on the benefits of emotional intelligence and practicing mindfulness for the bio-psycho-social welfare of healthcare professionals.

“…For example, in a situation when a patient is nervous about an upcoming surgical procedure, a surgeon with high emotional intelligence will pick up on this, sit down with the patient, and attempt to assuage his or her fears, whereas a surgeon with low emotional intelligence is more likely to ignore or never pick up on the patient's apprehension. Emotional intelligence is considered to be partially innate, but studies have shown that it can be improved with training, 48 and many programs that aim to develop physician leaders focus, at least in part, on improving emotional intelligence. 49,50 …”

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) shifted the focus in medical care from quantity to quality. This qualitative systematic review determined the key skills to be an effective physician leader after the implementation of the ACA and to compare them to the key skills identified prior to its implementation. A qualitative systematic review collects qualitative data and can be analyzed in a number of ways, including thematic analysis that constructs themes from the pooled data. A systematic literature search on leadership skills for physicians resulted in 26 papers. Thematic analysis was used to categorize the data presented in each paper. The results from these 26 papers were then compared to a similar paper published prior to the implementation of the ACA. Teamwork and team-building, communication, and self-awareness skills were mentioned the most often. The percentage of papers mentioning teamwork and team-building skills (61.5%) was significantly greater than the percentage (25%) reported prior to the implementation of the ACA (p≤0.04). With the shift towards quality of patient care, healthcare workers at all levels should strive to work as a team to provide the best quality of care at all stages of patient care.

“…The theoretical framework at the basis of the SE-SD tool is the well-established Bar-On [11] model of Emotional-Social Intelligence. This framework, which addresses both behaviors and outcomes, has been noted to be especially suitable for educational settings [34,35] and has been employed successfully in the medical arena [36][37][38]. It allows for a holistic and inclusive development approach that has been noted especially effective in SEI trainings [39].…”

Medical Education for the 21st Century

In recent decades, it has been increasingly recognized that soft skills play an important role in healthcare education and must be developed alongside other professional skills. Furthermore, the contribution of emotional intelligence (EI) to the ability to adapt to the changing environment of the 21st century has been widely agreed upon. Yet, despite these findings, social–emotional intelligence (SEI) and related skills skills are not widely developed in healthcare education settings, and if at all, only in a limited way. The present chapter presents a model and a methodological tool (SE-SD) for the development of social–emotional skills (SEI) as part of existing healthcare curricula, applying a broad view of the healthcare professions and associated skills. Soft, social–emotional, skills are positioned as a relevant and integral part of healthcare courses, thereby avoiding the need for significant changes in existing curricula. The SEI development process is implemented in three stages: preparation, action and assessment. The tool allows learners to embark on a self-directed, yet supervised, learning and development process, and can be applied to a single course or through the entire study program. The incorporation of a soft skill development process into healthcare education programs could help health systems to adapt and to cope better with the challenges of the 21st century, both present and future.
