Emotional intelligence (EI) is associated with a wide range of personal, professional and social benefits with numerous applications evident for nursing education and clinical practice. Despite growing support for increasing the focus on EI in nursing and nurse education, empirical evidence for the effectiveness of training to increase EI is sparse. The aim with this study was to test the effect of a brief EI training program for registered nurses.
We conducted a cross-site quasi-experimental study measuring nurses' EI pre- (T1) and three months post- (T2) EI training with a matched (untrained) control group (total n = 60). EI training consisted of a five-hour workshop, a 30-minute one-on-one feedback session, and an individualised follow-up reminder sent via SMS.
Training resulted in a significant increase in EI scores over baseline levels for the trained group while scores for the control group did not increase.
This pilot study has provided clear evidence of the applicability and efficacy of a low-cost training intervention for nursing staff in a real world setting.
情绪智力（EI）与个人、职业和社会的广泛利益相关，在护理教育和临床实践中有许多应用。尽管越来越多的人支持在护理和护理教育中更加关注 EI，但关于培训以提高 EI 的有效性的实证证据仍然很少。本研究旨在测试注册护士的简短 EI 培训计划的效果。
我们进行了一项跨地点准实验研究，在 EI 培训前（T1）和三个月后（T2）测量护士的 EI，同时还对匹配的（未接受培训）对照组（共 n=60）进行了测量。EI 培训包括五个小时的研讨会、三十分钟的一对一反馈会议，以及通过短信发送的个性化跟进提醒。
培训导致受训组的 EI 评分较基线水平显著提高，而对照组的评分没有提高。
这项初步研究为在现实环境中为护理人员提供低成本培训干预措施的适用性和有效性提供了明确的证据。
