“…The short form of the trait EI questionnaire (TEIQue‐SF) was included as an online questionnaire along with questions to capture demographic data including age, gender and programme type . Collected students' data were compared with existing normative data for the general population along with the existing EI TEIQue_SF data for UK and Australian qualified radiographers …”

“…Secondly, the students' EI scores were compared to a norm population. The comparison normative data ( n = 866) were drawn from the TEIQue‐SF normative database which consisted of individuals in a range of jobs, for example, private sector, public sector and armed forces . This data set was considered applicable for comparison with the collected UK, Irish and Australian data following communication with the owner of the TEIQue normative database …”

“…Research involving EI and medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, and radiography have postulated improved application to work tasks and patient compassion with a clear need for further research to continue these discussions. Interestingly, the importance of EI in radiology has been recognised as a core skill related to patient care and a recent study of EI of radiologists has shown that higher Trait EI scores in aspects of self‐control and sociability are associated with higher performance in cancer detection in mammography …”

“…In recent years, there has been a momentum of research and commentary into the value of EI in radiography and radiology . A previous study in the field of EI and radiography practice suggested that there are benefits in the application of EI due to the nature of the work, which is often highly emotive, personal and takes place in the complex context of health, trauma and cancer service provisions …”

IntroductionEmotional intelligence (EI) has been identified as an important trait for healthcare students and healthcare professionals alike and is a predictor of improved work performance and patient satisfaction. In this paper, we benchmark an international cohort of radiography students and compare their scores to those of known qualified practitioner and normative data.Methods EI scores were at commencement from radiography degree programmes at four universities in Australia, Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom using the short form of the trait EI questionnaire (TEIQue‐SF), which yields a Global score and four sub‐factors. In total 293 students chose to participate.ResultsFor the Australian combined Irish and UK groups, there were significant differences in Global EI and three of the four sub‐factors between students and qualified radiographers (Australia: students = 5.01, qualified = 5.27; P ≤ 0.01) (Irish/UK students = 5.04, qualified = 5.28; P ≤ 0.01). When compared to the UK normative data, there was a significant difference for Global EI between the UK students and the UK norm data set (students = 4.71, normative = 4.99; P ≤ 0.01).ConclusionThis study provides benchmarking data for an international radiography student group. The clear differences of higher EI scores for qualified practicing radiographers when compared to student score opens discussion of the impact of academic and clinical practicum as a contributing factor in EI skills development.
