“…The minimum and maximum scores for each scale were 6 and 30, respectively, and the maximum and minimum total scores were 90 and 450, respectively. The questionnaire was standardized to be used in Iran; its content validity was reported to be acceptable and its reliability was 0.89 by test-retest method [ 14 ]. It was used many times in Tabriz and, therefore, the validity and reliability were not determined in this study.…”

Emotional intelligence skills help nurses to cope with the emotional demands of healthcare environment. The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between emotional intelligence and perception of job performance among nurses. Using a correlational descriptive design with stratified random sampling, 338 registered nurses from teaching hospitals in North West of Iran were surveyed. Emotional intelligence and perception of job performance were measured using validated self-report measures. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential methods using SPSS/13. The mean of nurses' emotional intelligence and their perception of job performance was, respectively, 235.83 ± 37.98 and 157.63 ± 33.23. There was no significant relationship between nurses' emotional intelligence and their perception of job performance. Although there was a significant relationship between intrapersonal subscale of emotional intelligence and job performance, there was none with other subscales. In order to get rid of the physical and psychological effects of stressful work in wards, it seems that nurses just do routine activities and refuse working closely with the patients. It seems that fitting the patient to nurse ratio, dividing work between nurses, and supporting each other are necessary.

“…Personality is a psychological variant that affects individuals' personal and societal behaviour (Mahmod Aliloo et al, 2010) and significantly affects mental health. However, prior studies (Baghiani-Moghaddam et al, 2012;Löckenhoff et al, 2008) examining the association have yielded mixed findings. With the 60/ advent of Antonovsky's (1987) salutogenic approach, the research focus shifted from pathogenesis to health protection, promotion, and well-being.…”

The occurrence and severity of mental health issues among university students is increasing globally. India is also on the same platform when it comes to alarming mental health issues among students. However, most studies so far have been limited to assessing the prevalence and outcomes of psychological issues, and a paucity of studies investigating the protective factors for students’ mental health was observed. With the advent of the salutogenic approach, the research interest in health-protective factors, as opposed to risk factors, has heightened drastically. Given this, the present work investigated the role of personality traits and self-compassion in university students’ mental health. A correlational research design was employed. Participants included university students assessed on Costa and McCrae’s (1992) NEO-Five Factor Inventory, Self-Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003), and Mental Health Inventory (Jagadish and Srivastava, 1983). Data analysis employed Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. Extraversion, agreeableness, and self-compassion were positively associated with mental health, whereas neuroticism was negatively associated. The OCEAN personality traits and self-compassion explained significant variance in mental health, and only extraversion positively and significantly predicted mental health. OCEAN Personality Trait Extraversion is a protective factor for university students’ mental health.

“…[11] Emotional intelligence includes skills such as maintaining motivation and resilience in the face of problems, regulating emotional states, and practicing empathy and showing kindness to others. [12] Emotional and social intelligence training has been used to promote academic and professional status as well as mental health. [13] In addition, unlike cognitive intelligence, which is sometimes viewed as a constant and unchangeable ability, emotional intelligence can be developed and improved using specific quantitative and qualitative education, which could provide a public benefit, particularly in careers such as nursing.…”

The use of virtual social networks and the relationship to emotional intelligence among nursing students A dvances in information technology and expansion of the World Wide Web led to the emergence of web-based communication tools known as virtual social networks. [1] Though Internet-based social networks are relatively new, rapid growth has resulted in the number of users of some of these social networks reaching more than a billion. [2] According to a study conducted in the United States in 2015, 60% of people over the age of 18 and 73% of youth 12-17 years old use social networks. [3] In Iran, the popularity of social networks has increased significantly. Farajpour et al. [4] reported in 2017 that over 75% of smartphone users used virtual social network applications. Virtual social networks allow users to participate in horizontal communication in cyberspace, including content creation, information sharing, and creating friendships circles and other groups. [5] The widespread popularity of virtual social networks offers the user numerous opportunities and may facilitate life, but Objectives: This study was conducted with the aim of determining the degree and type of use of electronic social networks and the relationship to emotional intelligence among nursing students. Methods: This descriptive correlational study included 406 students of the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery who were selected using the census method. The data gathering tools were a researcher-made demographic questionnaire, a questionnaire on Internet-based social network use, and the Siberia Schering's Emotional Intelligence Standard Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS for Windows, Version 16.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA), descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics, using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results:The mean total score reflecting use of virtual social networks was 116. 81±17.20 (scale: 38-190), and the overall emotional intelligence score was 99.27±11.48 (scale: 33-165). The emotional intelligence and social network use dimensions that received the highest scores were related to self-motivation and sharing academic content. There was a negative statistical relationship between the use of Internet-based social network applications and emotional intelligence variables (r=-0.40; p<0.001). Conclusion: Due to the negative relationship between the use of virtual space and emotional intelligence and the positive effect that the emotional intelligence component can have in establishing a proper relationship between nurse and patient, university officials should consider methods to guide safe and appropriate student use of virtual networks.
