Emotional Intelligence Instruments Used in Health Care Education

Abstract

Background: This article aims to describe the content and the psychometric properties of emotional intelligence instruments used in health care education and to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and study success. Method: Six electronic databases were searched in spring 2020. Two researchers participated in the selection and quality assessment of the articles. Ultimately, 26 articles were included in the review. Results: From the included articles, 18 emotional intelligence instruments were identified. The content of the instruments focused on perception of emotions, understanding of emotions, emotional expression, managing emotions, using emotions, and social awareness and relations. In most of the studies, emotional intelligence was related to study success. Conclusion: The assessment of several important components of emotional intelligence was identified. Comprehensive assessment using the emotional intelligence total score seemed to be the best predictor of study success. [ J Nurs Educ . 2022;61(1):6–11.]

Importancia de la innovación docente como proceso y gestión en el ámbito de Ciencias de la Salud: una revisión sistemática

“…Para futuras líneas de investigación sería interesante que nuevos trabajos incorporasen en sus investigaciones variables psicológicas como inteligencia emocional, dada la influencia que presenta como el mejor predictor del éxito en el estudiantado de Ciencias de la Salud (Pienimaa et al, 2022). Ello, posiblemente permitiría aportar nuevas conclusiones.…”

“…Al mismo tiempo, los estudiantes deben responder al entorno dinámico que las TIC aportan mediante métodos de enseñanza eficaces (Vandeyar, 2020).

Development and psychometric evaluation of the Emotional Intelligence Test (EMI‐T) for social care and healthcare student selection

“…The comprehensive assessment of EI is relevant to ensuring students' abilities to cope with the demands of social care and healthcare studies, and the total EI score seems to be the best predictor of study success (Lewis et al, 2017;Pienimaa et al, 2022). Additionally, higher educational institutions are responsible for fair student selection Implications for the profession and/or patient care: Emotional intelligence is important for students to enable professional interaction.…”

“…Emotional intelligence (EI) can be defined as a set of abilities including the perception, understanding, expression, management and utilization of emotions (Mayer et al, 2016 ). EI is important to assess in social care and healthcare student selection (Haavisto et al, 2019 ; Pienimaa et al, 2022 ). EI has a positive relationship with academic performance in healthcare students (Pienimaa et al, 2022 ).…”

“…EI is important to assess in social care and healthcare student selection (Haavisto et al, 2019 ; Pienimaa et al, 2022 ). EI has a positive relationship with academic performance in healthcare students (Pienimaa et al, 2022 ). In particular, EI seems to improve performance in clinical practice (Lewis et al, 2017 ; Pienimaa et al, 2022 ).…”
