“…Moreover, many studies have shown that EI is an effective stress management. For instance, Toriello et al (2022) in their study indicated that a higher EI contributes to more effective stress management. Gupta et al (2014) found that first-year medical students reporting higher levels of EI were able to manage stress more effectively.…”

Students' life at university is very chaotic and challenging in the situation of COVID-19. Thus, investigating the stress-protective factors can potentially benefit the students and their academic life. Hence, considering Emotional intelligence (EI) may play a vital role in understanding students' stress. The present study is very crucial as a lack of emotional intelligence in such an unstable situation of COVID-19 may lead to possible failure that can negatively impact students' well-being and future. The main objective of the present study was to examine the link between EI and perceived stress among university students. This was done through a quantitative study of the relationship between EI and stress. A cross-sectional research design to recruit a convenience sample of students from a few public university campuses in Malaysia, with a total respondent of 213 students was used. These students were invited to complete a voluntary and anonymous 38-item online questionnaire. Self-report questionnaires, consisting of the short 16-item measure of emotional intelligence (WLEIS), and the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were distributed to these students. Correlation analyses were performed to examine the link between EI and perceived stress (PS). Major findings have shown that there were significant correlations between EI constructs (Selfemotions appraisal, Use of emotion, and Others-emotion appraisal) and PS. Subsequently, independent-sample t-tests showed a not statistically significant difference in mean EI and PS scores between male and female students. In conclusion, the constructs of trait, EI could be of vital importance in understanding stress among university students. The present study suggests that universities may offer EI as among measurements in the selection of their

“…It was limited by a relative inability to draw cross-study comparisons due to variability in EI definitions and the intrinsic difficulties associated with investigating EI. Despite this it was found that EI may be a helpful component of the admissions process and that curriculum interventions could have the effect of improving EI 25. If EI can be improved with training, it will be worthwhile determining training interventions of use in healthcare and the Defence Medical Leadership Centre would be well suited to introduce EI training into its curriculum.…”

BackgroundEmotional intelligence (EI) is a concept describing an individual’s ability to understand, process and act accordingly on others’ and one’s own emotions. It is a desirable quality for people working in teams and is beneficial to the individual in many ways. It is increasingly recognised that understanding and developing EI are important to working in the healthcare environment. It becomes especially pertinent in the deployed Defence Medical Services (DMS), where clinicians often fulfil a significant leadership role in a small team.MethodsThis study was performed with the aim of exploring the role of EI in military doctors in the UK DMS. EI was measured in a cohort of 64 military doctors by way of a validated self-assessment questionnaire. Results were tested for differences in EI between different services and career stages.ResultsThe survey had an 83% return rate. There was roughly equal distribution between service, career groups and ages across the study population. There were more men than women. The population showed consistently high EI scores compared with control data. There were no statistical differences in EI scores between services or genders. Foundation doctors showed the highest EI scores and consultants the lowest (6.05 vs 5.3).ConclusionIt was demonstrated that military doctors have consistently high EI score, especially at the most junior level. This suggests that traits deemed desirable by the single service selection processes also pertain to high EI without it being specifically measured for. The dangers of having too high EI and the benefits of having a range of EI within a team were discussed. There were limitations of being unable to obtain qualitative data and not including primary healthcare staff. Several recommendations were set out as to how the DMS may use or further investigate EI with regard to training and recruitment.

Purpose: To study the emotional intelligence and empathy in allied eye care workers. Methods: After ethical approval of study, a google form was developed which included Schutte’s scale and Davis Interpersonal index questions in addition to those related to basic demographic information. The proforma was sent via social media application (whatsapp) to study participants. Allied vision sciences students enrolled in bachelors program at various colleges/universities were included in study. A total of 150 students were invited to participate in this study out of whom 119 responded. Comparison of emotional intelligence scores based upon gender, year of study and boarder/non-boarder were done by applying Mann Whitney and one way ANOVA test. Results: Female responders were predominant (77.3%) in survey while majority (32.8%) of participants were in first year of study. When compared based upon boarder versus non-boarder, the sub scale of ‘’social skills’’ showed significant difference (p=0.017) with Non-Boarders scoring higher. Also, ‘’emotional regulation’’ scores were significantly higher (p=0.050) among second year students as compared to other years. Conclusion: Among allied vision sciences students, emotional intelligence significantly differs in some subscales when measured according to being boarder or not and year of degree program.
