Adolescents are often sensitive to emotions and vulnerable to psychiatric issues, including suicidal tendencies. Emotional intelligence is believed to play a significant role in resilience, which acts as a protective factor for mental well-being. The study investigated the level of emotional intelligence, resilience, depression, and anxiety in Sudanese adolescents and the relationship between these factors.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among four high schools and included a total of 392 adolescents who completed a self-administered questionnaire consisting of the 30-item trait; Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire- short form (TEQ-SF), Brief Resilience Scale-6 (BRS-6) and Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4).
Emotional intelligence levels were moderate to high (M = 131.53 ± SD 22.16). While resilience levels were low to normal (M = 3.20 ± SD 0.51). Levels of anxiety were present in 89% of students while levels of depression were present in 78% of students and both were positively correlated (r = 0.540). Emotional intelligence and resilience were positively correlated (r = 0.272, p < 0.0005). Also, Resilience was positively correlated with levels of anxiety (r = 0.105) and the latter had a significant negative association with academic performance (r = - 0.102). Parents' status significantly contributed to predicting resilience levels (p-value = 0.011), with an unstandardized beta coefficient of 0.368. The mothers' unemployment (r = - 0.100) and the father's employment (r = 0.105) were significantly linked to lower anxiety levels.
The high prevalence of anxiety and depression levels among Sudanese adolescents is influenced by parental separation and employment. Improving students' mental health is crucial as it is linked to enhancing their academic performance. This underscores the importance of addressing mental well-being alongside educational outcomes.
青少年通常对情绪敏感，易患精神疾病，包括自杀倾向。情商被认为在心理韧性中起着重要作用，而心理韧性是心理健康的保护因素。该研究调查了苏丹青少年的情商、心理韧性、抑郁和焦虑水平以及这些因素之间的关系。
在四所高中进行了一项横断面研究，共有392名青少年完成了一份自我管理的问卷，该问卷包括30项特质；情商量表简版（TEQ-SF）、简易心理韧性量表-6（BRS-6）和患者健康问卷-4（PHQ-4）。
情商水平为中等至高（M = 131.53 ± SD 22.16）。而心理韧性水平为低至正常（M = 3.20 ± SD 0.51）。89%的学生存在焦虑水平，78%的学生存在抑郁水平，且两者呈正相关（r = 0.540）。情商和心理韧性呈正相关（r = 0.272，p < 0.0005）。此外，心理韧性与焦虑水平呈正相关（r = 0.105），而焦虑与学业成绩呈显著负相关（r = -0.102）。父母状况对预测心理韧性水平有显著贡献（p值 = 0.011），非标准化β系数为0.368。母亲的失业（r = -0.100）和父亲的就业（r = 0.105）与较低的焦虑水平显著相关。
苏丹青少年中焦虑和抑郁水平的高患病率受父母分居和就业的影响。改善学生的心理健康至关重要，因为这与提高他们的学业成绩有关。这凸显了在关注教育成果的同时解决心理健康问题的重要性。
