Accelerated nursing students are ideal informants regarding abstract nursing concepts. How emotional intelligence (EI) is used in nursing remains a relatively elusive process that has yet to be empirically modeled. The purpose of this study was to generate a theoretical model that explains how EI is used in nursing by accelerated baccalaureate nursing students. Using a mixed methods grounded theory study design, theoretical sampling of EI scores directed sampling for individual interviews and focus groups. Caring for a human being emerged as the basic social process at the heart of which all other processes--Getting it; Being caring; The essence of professional nurse caring; Doing something to make someone feel better; and Dealing with difficulty--are interconnected. In addition to a theoretical explanation of the use of EI in nursing, this study corroborates findings from other qualitative studies in nursing and contributes a rich description of accelerated baccalaureate nursing students and an example of a mixed methods study design to the small but growing literature in these areas.
加速培养的护理专业学生是抽象护理概念的理想信息提供者。情商（EI）在护理中的应用仍然是一个相对难以捉摸的过程，尚未得到实证建模。本研究的目的是生成一个理论模型，解释加速培养的护理学学士学生如何在护理中运用情商。采用混合方法扎根理论研究设计，通过情商得分的理论抽样指导个人访谈和焦点小组的抽样。照顾人成为基本的社会过程，所有其他过程——理解；关爱；专业护士关爱的本质；做些让某人感觉更好的事；以及应对困难——都围绕这一核心相互关联。除了对情商在护理中的应用进行理论解释外，本研究还证实了护理领域其他定性研究的结果，并为加速培养的护理学学士学生提供了丰富的描述，以及为这些领域虽小但不断增长的文献贡献了一个混合方法研究设计的实例。
