The influence of nurse education and training on communication, emotional intelligence, and empathy

“…Our findings showed statistically significant differences in compassionate care and emotional clarity according to degree level. Nurses with only a degree obtained inferior scores for compassionate care dimension than those with a doctorate and lower scores for emotional clarity than those with a master's, which is in line with the results of previous studies (17) .

La adquisición de esta competencia debe estar en el currículum formativo desde el comienzo (López-Fernández, 2015), por la importancia de aprender a manejar las emociones para mantener una buena comunicación terapéutica y otorgar unos cuidados de calidad. La inteligencia emocional es considerada por algunos autores como un aspecto obligatorio para el desempeño de profesiones relacionadas con la salud, además de ser un aspecto positivo en el desarrollo de la motivación profesional (Liébana et al, 2012).…”
