Emotional intelligence is an essential trait and skill for healthcare professionals. Mindfulness meditation has proved to be effective in increasing the wellbeing of those who practice it, leading to better mental health, self-care and job satisfaction. This paper aims to identify the recent evidence on the relationship between mindfulness and emotional intelligence among healthcare professionals and students. A systematic review was conducted including the databases PubMed, Cinhal, PsycINFO and Web of Science. The main variables were emotional intelligence skills and mindfulness practice. Data were extracted according to the following outcomes: authors, year of publication, country, study design, participants, mindfulness training intervention, tools used in data collection and main results. The following inclusion criteria were applied: peer-reviewed articles; published in English or Spanish; published between 2010 and 2020; quantitative methodology; a study population of healthcare professionals or students; the relationship with the aim of the study. The Joanna Briggs Institute criteria were followed for assessing the methodological quality of the selected studies. Three researchers were involved in the review. After the selection process, 10 studies were selected out of the 197 references initially identified. These studies revealed a positive relationship between mindfulness and emotional intelligence, particularly the capacity to regulate emotions. Furthermore, mindfulness is negatively related to emotional exhaustion. Training interventions based on mindfulness have proved to be useful in promoting emotional balance, emotional awareness, emotional acceptance, emotion recognition, expressive suppression and a reduction in emotional exhaustion. This study could serve as a basis for further research on the benefits of emotional intelligence and practicing mindfulness for the bio-psycho-social welfare of healthcare professionals.
情绪智力是医疗保健专业人员的重要特质和技能。正念冥想已被证明可有效提高练习者的幸福感，从而改善心理健康、自我保健和工作满意度。本文旨在确定最近关于医疗保健专业人员和学生的正念与情绪智力之间关系的证据。进行了一项系统评价，包括 PubMed、Cinhal、PsycINFO 和 Web of Science 数据库。主要变量是情绪智力技能和正念实践。根据以下结果提取数据：作者、出版年份、国家、研究设计、参与者、正念培训干预、数据收集中使用的工具和主要结果。应用了以下纳入标准：同行评议文章；以英文或西班牙文发表；发表于 2010 年至 2020 年之间；定量方法；以医疗保健专业人员或学生为研究人群；与研究目的相关。采用 Joanna Briggs 研究所标准评估所选研究的方法学质量。有 3 名研究人员参与了审查。经过选择过程，从最初确定的 197 篇参考文献中选出了 10 篇研究。这些研究表明正念与情绪智力之间存在正相关关系，特别是调节情绪的能力。此外，正念与情绪耗竭呈负相关。基于正念的培训干预已被证明有助于促进情绪平衡、情绪意识、情绪接受、情绪识别、表达抑制以及减少情绪耗竭。本研究可以为进一步研究情绪智力和练习正念对医疗保健专业人员的生物心理社会福利的益处提供基础。
