“…The capabilities that underpin the interpersonal interactions needed for navigating power relations revealed in the present study can be understood in light of research on interpersonal influence and power ( 61 ) , which are considered to be facilitated through emotional intelligence capabilities ( 62 ) . Descriptions of emotional intelligence capabilities in the literature overlap with descriptions in the present study of metacognition, empathy and intuition, suggesting that emotional intelligence is inter‐related with reasoning dimensions in dietitian CDM ( 63–66 ) .…”

Background: Clinical decision-making (CDM) is an essential component of dietetic practice that can significantly affect the quality of patient care. Research around CDM in clinical dietetics is scarce, with research in other healthcare professions offering limited insight into dietitian CDM in the specific setting of the acute care hospitals. The aim of this qualitative research was to deepen our understanding of the nature of the CDM of experienced dietitians in the acute care setting. Methods: The present study employed philosophical hermeneutics to guide methods situated within the interpretative paradigm. This study invited dietitians currently practising in adult acute care hospitals with at least 3 years of experience to be involved two in-depth semi-structured interviews using the principles of hermeneutics. A reference focus group session was then used to provide rigour and further interpretation of the findings. Results: Ten dietitians participated in the interviews and five of these same participants in the reference focus group. The findings have informed the development of A Model of the Multidimensional Nature of Dietitian CDM in the Acute Care Setting, which reflects the nature of making decisions for patient care through the synergistic relationship between five key dimensions: (i) tasks; (ii) interactions; (iii) reasoning; (iv) practitioner factors; and (v) context, all of which are managed and monitored by the higherorder reasoning process of the dietitian's clinical judgement. Conclusions: Because there is scarcity of research on the CDM of dietitians in acute care settings, the present study can provide training and professional development insights to managers, educators and supervisors.

“…Clinical reasoning is the ability to reason accurately and make decisions. This ability, especially in emotional and di cult situations, is very important in providing safe and appropriate clinical care to patients [23]. Emotions play an important role in judgment and decision making, and especially in risky behaviors [24].…”

Background Effective teaching in clinical environment is one of the challenges faced by clinical faculty members due to the complexities of the variables involved in the training. Using appropriate teaching methods by professors in this environment can promise efficient graduates in the field. The present study, as a follow up of Omid research, which designed a clinical teaching model based on emotional intelligence, was carried out to evaluate the results of implementing this model in a clinical setting. Methods A qualitative study was conducted using inductive content analysis in one of the educational hospitals affiliated with Esfahan University of Medical Sciences. A total of 20 volunteer medical students from different levels of education were selected using purposeful sampling and were asked to express their experiences of attending the round with its clinical teaching based on emotional intelligence. Participants included 4 stagers, 11 interns, and 5 residents. Data were collected using semi-structured individual interviews; each interview lasted for 40–60 minutes and began with the question: what do you think are the important features of this professor's clinical education? The following questions were asked based on the issues raised in the interview. Data collected were analyzed immediately after the interviews Results Two main categories emerged from data analysis: Health outcome and Learning outcome. Conclusion The use of teaching based on emotional intelligence in the clinical environment can be effective in promoting their learning while ensuring the health of the learners.

“…A su vez, la autopercepción de la inteligencia emocional corresponde a la capacidad consciente de percibir, comprender y regular las emociones propias, controlando las emociones negativas y propiciando las positivas (7,(14)(15)(16) . Algunas investigaciones re eren que, cuando los estudiantes de salud exhiben adecuada percepción de su propia inteligencia emocional, esta se asocia a una percepción de menor estrés, ansiedad y depresión, actuando como un factor protector de la carga emocional negativa (5,17) y potenciando ámbitos de actuación como: la toma de decisiones clínicas (18) , las competencias quirúrgicas (19) , y el trabajo en base a un enfoque más empático (20) .…”

Objective: To analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence and anxious-depressive and stress symptoms in nursing students. Material and Method: Cross-sectional, observational, quantitative study, with a correlational scope, carried out in a multicenter sample of 80 rst-year nursing students (CI= 90; error= 0.5); emotional intelligence was evaluated with the Trait Meta-Mood Scale Number 24 (TMMS-24), and depressive, anxious and stress symptoms with the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale Number 21 (DASS-21). In addition, sociodemographic and academic characteristics were considered as control variables. e descriptive analysis was performed using frequency measures, relative central tendency, Student's t tests, and for the correlation between dimensions, Pearson's correlation coe cient was applied. Results: High levels of depression, anxiety and stress were registered. Depressive symptoms and stress correlated with low understanding (p <0.01) and emotional regulation (p <0.001), with the latter also showing moderate correlations with anxiety.e dimensions of emotional intelligence and symptomatology evaluated were sensitive to the presence of poor academic performance (p <0.05) and were also associated with poor sleep quality and little rest time (p <0.05). Conclusion: A greater perception of abilities to regulate and understand emotions is associated with less symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Results highlight, therefore, the importance of considering the development of emotional intelligence in the curricula, in order to improve the mental health condition of the students and promote a culture of empathetic professionals focused on patient care management.
