Emotional intelligence (EI) reflects the general capacity to comprehend emotions (in ourselves and in others), to regulate emotions, and to cope effectively with emotional situations. The study program in nursing is varied, and includes theoretical and practical aspects, but teaching EI is not part of the core curriculum. We argue that teaching EI should not only be included in the curriculum, but that EI tests should be included in the admissions process.
This study reviews the relationship between EI level and the degree of success in nursing studies, and its importance.
A convenience sample of 110 academic nursing students was examined.
Three data collection methods were employed: 1) A socio-demographic questionnaire; 2) Schutte Self-Report Inventory (SSRI); 3) Psychometric scores and grade transcripts.
A positive correlation between the level of EI and the degree of success in nursing studies among nursing students was found. EI levels improved during the second year of learning. Among nursing students, the annual average grade was related to emotional intelligence rather than psychometric scores at the time of admission.
There is a need to increase the importance of EI in the terms of nursing student's admission and basic nursing curriculums.
情绪智力（EI）反映了理解情感（自己和他人的）、调节情感以及有效应对情感情境的一般能力。护理专业的学习课程多种多样，包括理论和实践方面，但教授 EI 不是核心课程的一部分。我们认为，教授 EI 不仅应该包括在课程中，而且 EI 测试也应该包括在招生过程中。
本研究回顾了 EI 水平与护理学习成功程度之间的关系及其重要性。
检查了 110 名学术护理学生的便利样本。
采用三种数据收集方法：1）社会人口学问卷；2）Schutte 自我报告量表（SSRI）；3）心理测量分数和成绩单。
在护理学生中，发现 EI 水平与护理学习成功程度之间存在正相关关系。在学习的第二年，EI 水平有所提高。在护理学生中，每年的平均成绩与情绪智力有关，而不是入学时的心理测量分数。
需要提高 EI 在护理学生入学和基础护理课程中的重要性。
