Summary
Nursing students
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Psychology
- Healthcare Professions
Background:
- Emotional intelligence (EI) is crucial for nursing students' academic and professional success.
- Existing research on EI in nursing students shows varied results concerning age, year of study, and gender.
- Understanding EI development in nursing students is vital for enhancing their skills.
Purpose of the Study:
- To longitudinally investigate changes in emotional intelligence among undergraduate nursing students.
- To explore the relationship between emotional intelligence, age, and academic progression.
- To determine if emotional intelligence skills can be improved during nursing education.
Main Methods:
- A longitudinal study conducted in 2016 and 2019 with undergraduate nursing students.
- Utilized the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Short Form (TEIQue-SF) and Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT).
- Compared EI levels between first-year (n=111) and third-year (n=101) students, analyzing correlations with age.
Main Results:
- Significant differences in emotional intelligence were observed between first and third-year nursing students (TEIQue-SF).
- A weak positive correlation was found between EI and age using the TEIQue-SF.
- No significant correlation between EI and age was found using the SSEIT.
Conclusions:
- Nursing students' emotional intelligence evolves with their academic progression and age.
- Emotional intelligence skills in nursing students appear to be improvable through education.
- Further research is recommended to investigate gender differences in nursing students' emotional intelligence.

208
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

01:30Socioemotional Development during Infancy
90
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.

01:20Multiple 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.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.5K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

01:22The Professional Nurse
4.3K
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.
