The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Multiple Intelligences Theory

Multiple Intelligences Theory

Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligence proposes that there are nine distinct types of intelligence, each reflecting different ways of interacting with the world. Introduced in 1983 and expanded in subsequent years, Gardner's framework challenges the traditional notion of a single, generalized intelligence.

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Critical Thinking I

Critical Thinking I

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career with...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Psychology

Background:

Scholarly proposals suggest integrating emotional intelligence (EI) into nursing curricula to enhance nurse preparation.
The specific impact of EI on nursing student performance remains underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the correlation between emotional intelligence and nursing performance among university nursing students.
To determine if EI is a significant factor in the clinical and academic performance of future nurses.

Main Methods:

A descriptive correlational study was conducted with 87 nursing students.
Emotional intelligence was assessed using the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT).
Nursing performance was measured via the Six Dimension Scale of Nursing Performance (6-D Scale).

Main Results:

The sample exhibited moderate levels of both emotional intelligence (mean=0.53) and nursing performance (mean=3.14).
A significant positive relationship was found between emotional intelligence and overall nursing performance.
Four subscales of nursing performance demonstrated significant correlations with total emotional intelligence scores.

Conclusions:

Emotional intelligence is a relevant factor in nursing student performance.
Findings support the inclusion of EI training in nursing education to potentially enhance clinical skills and outcomes.
Further research is warranted to explore the practical applications of EI in nursing practice and education.
