Introduction:
Thinking skills are important concepts that have been discussed by various researchers. Improving and enhancing students' thinking skills has become a fundamental goal of educational systems. There are several methods used to promote inclusive critical thinking in individuals.
Objectives:
This study aimed to assess the correlation between emotional intelligence (EI) and critical thinking disposition skills in undergraduate Saudi nursing students.
Methods:
This descriptive correlational study design used a convenience sample of 300 undergraduate nursing students. The respondents were selected from King Khaled University. The study utilized the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) and the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CTDS).
Results:
The results demonstrated a positive correlation between the two variables (r = .60, p < .001). The variables differed among the nursing students depending on their academic year of study (F = 52.000, p < .001).
Conclusions:
In conclusion, higher levels of EI and critical thinking skills in nursing students are associated with improved problem-solving skills and better judgment, which contribute to the future development of EI and critical thinking nursing professionals.
