Objective:
To determine correlation between emotional intelligence and academic stress.
Methods:
The quantitative correlational study was conducted in 2016 at the Khyber College of Dentistry, Peshawar, Pakistan, and comprised undergraduate dental students in the 2015-16 session regardless of age, gender and the academic year. Emotional intelligence and dental environmental stress were calculated and compared. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
Results:
Of the 298 students, 98(32.89%) were males and 200(67.11%) were females. The overall mean emotional intelligence score was 81.23±22.8, while the overall mean dental environmental stress score was 109.54±19.5 with a trend of decreasing stress levels from first to final year. A Pearson correlation test was run. Significant negative relationship was found between emotional intelligence and academic stress (p<0.05).
Conclusions:
The gradual increase of emotional intelligence from first to final year showed the importance of teaching and learning methods that incorporate certain emotional intelligence trends.
