Understanding what factors contribute to NCLEX-RN success is critical to nursing programs. Emotional intelligence is one factor that warrants investigation.
The purpose of our study was to examine emotional intelligence, measured via the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test 2.0, to 2 standardized measures of nursing student performance: the Kaplan Nursing Assessment Test (NAT) and NCLEX-RN success.
A descriptive, cohort design with 2 data collections times points (n = 53) evaluated the contribution of emotional intelligence to NAT and to NCLEX-RN success, while controlling for age.
Emotional intelligence global scores were significantly related to both NAT and NCLEX-RN. Understanding emotions branch was a significant predictor of NAT. Perceiving emotions and understanding emotions branches were both significant predictors of NCLEX-RN.
Results suggest that enhancing nursing curriculum to include training in perceiving and understanding emotions may be beneficial in augmenting student success.
了解哪些因素有助于通过美国国家执业护士执照考试(NCLEX-RN)对护理专业课程至关重要。情商是一个值得研究的因素。
我们研究的目的是通过梅耶-萨洛维-卡鲁索情商测试2.0来考察情商与护理专业学生成绩的两项标准化指标之间的关系:卡普兰护理评估测试(NAT)和NCLEX-RN考试的通过率。
采用描述性队列设计,有两个数据收集时间点(n = 53),在控制年龄的同时,评估情商对NAT和NCLEX-RN考试通过率的影响。
情商总分与NAT和NCLEX-RN考试通过率均显著相关。理解情绪分支是NAT的显著预测因素。感知情绪和理解情绪分支都是NCLEX-RN考试通过率的显著预测因素。
结果表明,加强护理课程设置,纳入感知和理解情绪的培训,可能有助于提高学生的考试通过率。
