Objective:
This study aimed to assess the influence of emotional intelligence (EI) on shared governance councils' effectiveness among oncology nurses who participate in these councils.
Background:
Literature suggests that EI enhances job satisfaction, caring behavior, communication, and patient outcomes.
Methods:
This study used a cross-sectional design. The study took place at a large cancer hospital in Jordan. A convenience sample of 176 was used. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires, the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, and the Council Health Survey (CHS).
Results:
The findings indicated a significantly elevated degree of EI among oncology nurses, with a mean (SD) score of 5.8 (0.73) out of 7. The CHS score was 4.15 out of 5. The multiple regression analysis yielded a significant result, with an F statistic of 12.617 and degrees of freedom of 4 and 157. The P value was <0.001.
Conclusion:
Findings support integrating more EI initiatives into nursing education and professional development.
