Objective:
To investigate the state of knowledge on emotional intelligence (EI) education in pre-registration nursing programmes.
Design:
Integrative literature review.
Data Sources:
CINAHL, Medline, Scopus, ERIC, and Web of Knowledge electronic databases were searched for abstracts published in English between 1992-2014.
Review Methods:
Data extraction and constant comparative analysis of 17 articles.
Results:
Three categories were identified: Constructs of emotional intelligence; emotional intelligence curricula components; and strategies for emotional intelligence education.
Conclusions:
A wide range of emotional intelligence constructs were found, with a predominance of trait-based constructs. A variety of strategies to enhance students' emotional intelligence skills were identified, but limited curricula components and frameworks reported in the literature. An ability-based model for curricula and learning and teaching approaches is recommended.
