Summary
Emotional intelligence (EI) and critical thinking skills are positively correlated in Saudi nursing students. Higher EI and critical thinking are linked to better problem-solving and judgment, crucial for future nursing professionals.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Psychology
- Healthcare Professions
Background:
- Enhancing students' thinking skills is a key educational objective.
- Emotional intelligence (EI) and critical thinking are vital for healthcare professionals.
- Limited research exists on the correlation between EI and critical thinking in Saudi nursing students.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the correlation between emotional intelligence (EI) and critical thinking disposition skills.
- To investigate these skills in undergraduate Saudi nursing students.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive correlational study was conducted.
- A convenience sample of 300 undergraduate nursing students from King Khaled University participated.
- The Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) and Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CTDS) were used.
Main Results:
- A significant positive correlation was found between EI and critical thinking disposition (r = .60, p < .001).
- The variables showed significant differences based on academic year of study (F = 52.000, p < .001).
Conclusions:
- Higher EI and critical thinking skills in nursing students are associated with improved problem-solving and judgment.
- These findings support the development of emotionally intelligent and critical thinking nursing professionals.
- Interventions to enhance EI and critical thinking may benefit nursing education and practice.
