“…Under the epidemic, medical staffs face multiple pressures. EI can act as a buffer against the negative effects of stress on anxiety and depression (Fu et al, 2020), help nurses better deal with nurse–patient relationship, relieve work pressure and promote the improvement of nursing quality (Kahraman & Hiçdurmaz, 2016). People with higher emotional intelligence can better deal with nurse–patient relationship, relieve work pressure and promote the improvement of nursing quality (Kahraman & Hiçdurmaz, 2016).…”

“…This had been confirmed in several studies (Cejudo et al, 2018; Kousha et al, 2018; Nolidin et al, 2013). In a study of twin women's prenatal anxiety and depression, Fu said (Fu et al, 2020) under anxiety, depression and stress, high EI might be more likely to recognise negative emotions. And they can minimise the presence and intensity of negative emotions (Molero Jurado et al, 2019).…”

Aims and Objectives The purpose of this study was to understand the emotional intelligence level (EI) and negative emotional status of the front‐line nurses in the epidemic situation and to further explore the relationship between them. Background During the COVID‐19 epidemic, under the influence of multiple factors, nurses were vulnerable to negative emotions. While previous studies have explored, the role of emotional intelligence in negative emotions, the relationship between the two has not been sufficiently discussed in the context of COVID‐19. Design The study carried out a cross‐sectional survey. The STROBE was selected as the checklist in this study. Methods 202 nurses from Wuhan makeshift hospital participated in the questionnaire survey. Data collection tools included a general data questionnaire designed by the researchers, Chinese version of EI scale (WLEIS‐C) and Chinese version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS‐21). Descriptive statistics, single factor analysis and correlation analysis were used to analyse the data. Results The emotional intelligence of the front‐line nurses was in the upper middle range. Among the negative emotions, anxiety was the most prominent symptom. Conclusions Managers should pay attention to the negative emotional problems of front‐line nurses, improve their EI level and promote mental health and the progress of epidemic prevention. Relevance to clinical practice Improving the level of emotional intelligence can reduce the frequency and intensity of negative emotions. In clinical work, emotional intelligence can be used as a skill to carry out relevant training, which is conducive to playing a positive role in future emergencies.

Background An unplanned pregnancy may be followed by increased depression and anxiety. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the mediating role of partner’s emotional reaction to pregnancy (PERP) on the relationship between pregnancy planning and prenatal mental health. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 303 healthy Iranian pregnant women during their third trimester. The levels of depression and anxiety were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The PERP score was also measured using a researcher-made questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the plug-in application PROCESS macro. Results The results showed that PERP score was reversely related to pregnancy planning and prenatal depression and anxiety. The direct effect of the pregnancy planning on depression (c = −.05) and anxiety levels (c = −.02) were not significant; but the indirect effect of pregnancy planning on depression (Point Estimate = −.379, CI: −.523 to −.250) and anxiety levels (Point Estimate = −.560, CI: −.741 to −.385) with the mediating role of PERP were significant. Conclusions The results indicated that the effect of pregnancy planning on prenatal mental health is mediated by PERP, and in unplanned pregnancy women need to receive positive reaction of their partners toward pregnancy so that they can preserve their mental health.

Background: An unplanned pregnancy may follow by increasing depression and anxiety and the aim of the present study was to evaluate the mediating role of partner’s emotional reaction to pregnancy (PERP) on the relationship between pregnancy planning and prenatal mental health. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 303 healthy Iranian pregnant women during their third trimester. The levels of depression and anxiety were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Further, the PERP score was measured using a researcher-made questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the plug-in application PROCESS macro. Results: The results showed that PERP score was related to pregnancy planning and prenatal depression and anxiety inversely. The effect of the pregnancy planning on depression (β=-1.603; CI: -2.276 to -.978) and anxiety (β=-1.950, CI: -3.717 to -.493) were significant only with mediating role of PERP. Conclusions: The results indicated that the effect of the pregnancy planning on prenatal mental health is mediate by PERP and in unplanned pregnancy, women need to receive their positive partner’s reaction toward pregnancy to preserve their mental health.
