“…Our study indicated a significant relation and a positive correlation between Emotional intelligence and lack of development, and between emotional intelligence and neglect, while no significant relation was found between emotional intelligence and overload, a previous study demonstrated a relation between all three components of burnout syndrome and overall emotional intelligence among surgery residents [30], another indicated to high emotional intelligence as protective factor against burnout among surgery residents as well [31][32][33], while the scores of EI were weakly correlated with decreased burnout in a study on oncology residents [34]. Emotional intelligence has mediation effect between emotional labour and burnout as was reported in one study on nurses [35].…”

EI involves the ability to relate to and influence others, and may be important for practice nurses. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 96 nurses who had just completed their internship period. The main work pressures experienced by practice nurses were analyzed. To investigate and analyze the main work pressures on clinical practice nurses, and improve their emotional literacy through targeted emotional intelligence (EI) education to support good professional quality and active responses to work stress. In total, 102 new practice nurses were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. Both groups received routine professional skill training. Nurses in the experimental group also received guided EI training. Working pressure and EI level were tested in both groups before and after the internship period. The main work pressures on practice nurses were excessive nursing workloads and poor allocation of work time. The experimental group had higher EI scores and lower pressure scores than the control group. EI education for practice nurses may be particularly important in relieving work pressures.

“…Finally, the trait level refers to habitual dispositionswhat people usually do when dealing with emotional situations [9]. The Trait model envisages EI as ''a constellation of emotional selfperceptions located at the lower levels of personality'' [10]; it refers to an individual's self-perceptions of their emotional abilities.…”

Nowadays, emotional intelligence (EI) is an emerging topic for psychological, educational, and management researchers and consultants. EI is the ability to manage emotions and interact effectively with others. The purpose of our study is to assess the level of EI of young university students and its associated factors; and to develop a valid and reliable instrument of EI in Lebanon. During 2018, a cross-sectional study, which enrolled 705 university students chosen randomly in seven faculties was conducted. The survey included questions on socio-demographic characteristics, health behaviors, Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS). The attitudes related to media and technology usage assessed by using the last four sub-factors of the Media and Technology Usage and Attitudes Scale. The translation and cultural adaptation of the WLEIS followed a standardized protocol. After that, the psychometric properties of the scale (i.e., feasibility, reliability, and validity) were evaluated. A total of 705 undergraduates filled out the questionnaire, of whom 74% were females, aged from 17 to 35 (mean=20.42±2.41) years. The rotated principal axis factor analysis produced four-factors, explaining 64.60% of the variance, corresponding to the hypothesized Self-Emotions Appraisal (SEA), Others-Emotions Appraisal (OEA), Use of Emotion (UOE), and Regulation of Emotion (ROE) scales of WLEIS. The internal consistency of the WLEIS scale was high for all subscales (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.70). The mean OEA score was significantly higher in females as compared to males (p=0.03). The students who study in public university and have physical activities had higher scores of the ROE (p<0.001); whereas the drinkers of alcohol (p=0.04) and smokers had lower scores (p=0.001). The relationship between SEA, OEA, UOE scores and academic performance was significant (p<0.001). The UOE and ROE were negatively and significantly correlated with the Dependence on Technology (r=-0.15; p<0.001). This study supports the feasibility, reliability, and validity of the WLEIS Arabic version as a screening tool of EI among young university students. The individuals working with students in the context of improving academic skills may want to routinely assess EI of their students in order to improve education, student development, personal well-being, and mental ability.
