The Perceived Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Nephrology Nurse Preceptors

Abstract:
This study aimed to assess the perceived emotional intelligence (EI) of nephrology nurse preceptors before and after an educational intervention. Results showed a statistically significant increase in EI scores, with the Median Schute Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test score rising from 128 to 132 (p = 0.022). This study supports integrating EI training in nephrology preceptor programs because EI preceptors positively influence novice nurses, leading to better outcomes and improved emotional regulation. An EI learning segment should be included in registered nurse nephrology preceptor programs.
