The impact of emotional intelligence in health care professionals on caring behaviour towards patients in clinical and long-term care settings: Findings from an integrative review

Abstract: This review provides evidence that developing emotional intelligence in nurses may positively impact upon certain caring behaviours, and that there may be differences within groups that warrant further investigation. Understanding more about which aspects of emotional intelligence are most relevant for intervention is important, and directions for further large scale research have been identified.

“…In addition, it improves their practical capacity, which benefits both patients and family members, as well as colleagues and co-workers [54]. This capacity to manage their emotions, remain calm, and experience empathy and distress allows these workers to think more clearly, which leads to better patient care [55].
