“…[19] All of the subscales except for critical care and leadership were found to be positively associated with EI. [19] Different measurements of EI have been also tested as predictors of academic success among college students, [20,21] and in a descriptive study conducted with baccalaureate nursing students, participants were found to have varying scores on emotional intelligence, with a statistically significant pos-itive linear trend toward the higher the grade level of the student. [22] In a similar descriptive study, Codier and colleagues [23] examined the relationship between GPA and various abilities of EI using the MSCEIT V2.0 measurement tool.…”

Objective: New nurses may be vulnerable to bullying as they often lack confidence or do not have the skills or maturity to communicate their needs or those of their patients. Increasing emotional intelligence particularly in at-risk nursing students may be one way to foster resiliency. This exploratory cross sectional study aimed to exam the overall level and specific components of emotional intelligence as well as associations with age, ethnicity, gender, or academic standing in baccalaureate nursing students. Methods: A cross sectional analytical study was conducted using a paper demographic survey and an online emotional intelligence (EI) instrument, the MSCEIT V2.0. A convenience sample of lower division nursing students attending a professional nursing course was recruited. Statistical analyses include demographic descriptives, EI total and sub score means and standard deviations, paired t-tests to compare within group differences, and simple and linear regression on seven different EI scores to examine predictive qualities of demographic variables. Results: Overall total and many component EI scores were high average with variations noted within groups. Multiple linear regressions demonstrated that after controlling for all variables, a higher GPA and being Asian compared to White were associated with higher scores in mostly all components of EI. Four-year students scored higher than transfer students in understanding emotions. Being male was predictive of the branch, facilitating thought, and Latinos were associated with a higher score in perceiving emotions. Conclusions: This study provides an in-depth exploration of not only total EI in a lower division nursing student sample, but a comprehensive examination of the components of emotional intelligence. EI measurements can be used to identify strengths and weaknesses in abilities that can be either gleaned, or developed as needed to faciliate creative problem solving, effective patient interactions, and to develop resiliency to incivility in the workplace.

“…Many studies were found to be in accordance with the details of predictive relationship between emotional intelligence and the program outcomes like academic performance (Rankin, 2013;Fernandez, Salamonson & Griffiths, 2012; Beauvais, Stewart, DeNisco,& Beauvais, 2014) and performance of the nursing students (Kaur & Jiwan, 2014). Emotional intelligence of adult students can be enhanced and empowered as is required for social and academic adjustments.…”

“…The recognition of the emotional nature of nurses' work and its impact on patient care if not managed appropriately has attracted considerable interest of late [17,23,54,55] and a number of the papers identified in the REA report investigations of different aspects of this. For example social capital, defined as a resource that that can be available to both individuals and organisations, can have an effect on the levels of emotional exhaustion experienced by staff.…”

Background: It is recognised that if high standards of patient care are to be provided, nursing staff need to be supported in managing the emotional component of their work. Objective: The purpose of the review reported here was to examine the relevant literature to determine which approaches to staff support are effective in enabling nurses to manage the emotional content of their work. Design: A Rapid Evidence Assessment was conducted. Methods: Rapid Evidence Assessment methods were used to identify and evaluate the relevant literature. Data sources: Peer reviewed journal papers retrieved as a result of a systematic literature search. Results: A total of 1,869 papers were identified following two searches of electronic databases and 25 papers were included in the review. Thematic analysis identified three main themes in the papers: The importance of leadership-particularly emotionally intelligent leadership; the impact of aspects of the emotional content of nurses' work on their practice; and approaches to supporting staff. Conclusions:The results confirmed the recognition of staff support as being crucial to patient care, and the role of leadership and a number of specific interventions including mindfulness, reflection and supervision were reported. However although there are many approaches to the provision of emotional support for nurses, there is little evidence to demonstrate their widespread implementation. It is accepted that emotion is central to nursing, yet how best to manage this in an organisational context is less clear.
