IntroductionContemporary health care services are more productive and successful when their health professionals have emotional intelligence (EI). The objective of this study was to explore the demographic predictors of EI among radiation therapists working in cancer care centres in NSW, Australia.MethodsData were collected using a cross‐sectional self‐administered survey. Emotional intelligence was measured using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire‐ Short version (TEIQue – SF). Multiple regression analysis was used to identify if age, years of experience, gender, highest level of education obtained or level of current employment were predictors of EI.ResultsA total of 205 radiation therapists participated in this study. The mean scores for Global EI, emotionality, self‐control, wellbeing and sociability dimensions were 5.16 (SD = 0.6), 5.3 (SD = 0.7), 4.9 (SD = 0.9), 5.7 (SD = 0.8) and 4.7 (SD = 0.8) respectively. Age and level of current employment were identified as predictors of global EI. Gender and level of education were significant predictors of the EI emotionality dimension. Levels of employment along with level of education were both significant predictors of the sociability dimension of EI.ConclusionsBeing a young radiation therapist, female, and having higher levels of employment and higher levels of education were predictors of EI. Given that level of education and level of employment are both amendable demographic factors, strategies to address these factors to reduce the effects of emotional struggle experienced by radiation therapists in their work need to be implemented.

“…According to Chan (2003) and Li et al (2009), trait emotional intelligence can be separated into four dimensions, namely, self-management of emotions (i.e., self-awareness, understanding and regulation of one’s own emotions), social skills (i.e., explicit actions that individuals take to respond to social tasks), empathy (i.e., the awareness and management of others’ emotions) and utilization of emotions (i.e., an individual’s use of emotions). Numerous studies suggest that, emotional intelligence was positively associated with improved psychological health (Fernández-Abascal and Martín-Díaz, 2015), as well as negatively associated with problem behaviors (Siu, 2009; Gugliandolo et al, 2015). However, so far, only a few studies have investigated the associations between emotional intelligence and internet addiction in adolescence (Parker et al, 2008; van Deursen et al, 2015).…”

This study tested a parallel two-mediator model in which the relationship between dimensions of emotional intelligence and online gaming addiction are mediated by perceived helplessness and perceived self-efficacy, respectively. The sample included 931 male adolescents (mean age = 16.18 years, SD = 0.95) from southern China. Data on emotional intelligence (four dimensions, including self-management of emotion, social skills, empathy and utilization of emotions), perceived stress (two facets, including perceived self-efficacy and perceived helplessness) and online gaming addiction were collected, and bootstrap methods were used to test this parallel two-mediator model. Our findings revealed that perceived self-efficacy mediated the relationship between three dimensions of emotional intelligence (i.e., self-management, social skills, and empathy) and online gaming addiction, and perceived helplessness mediated the relationship between two dimensions of emotional intelligence (i.e., self-management and emotion utilization) and online gaming addiction. These findings underscore the importance of separating the four dimensions of emotional intelligence and two facets of perceived stress to understand the complex relationship between these factors and online gaming addiction.

“…Furthermore as a result, one will have the more rational approach to the problems. There are various studies showing the relationship between the overall EQ and the physical and mental health (24). Other studies show the effect of EQ on life satisfaction as well as the increased EQ being a factor to promote life satisfaction (14).…”

Background: Having a child with autism spectrum disorder is a stressful event for parents. Mental health status of the parents of children with chronic disabilities has a considerable impact on welfare and development of their children. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and quality of life in mothers of children with autism. Methods: In this descriptive analytic study, 50 mothers of children with autism, with the mean age of 33.9 years (SD = 6.8), referred to autism clinics in Tehran, were selected using convenience sampling method. Health-related quality of life was assessed using the Iranian version of the short-form health survey (SF-36) and the emotional intelligence was measured by the Iranian version of H-Wesinger emotional intelligence inventory. Results: Given the findings, there was a significant correlation between the scores of quality of life and the emotional intelligence (r = 0.304, P = 0.032). Also, there existed a significant correlation between the subscale tests in the physical performance (r = 0.286, P = 0.044) and the Mental health (r = 0.293, P = 0.032). Conclusions:The current study showed that the quality of life in mothers of children with ASD could be affected by emotional intelligence and the increased emotional intelligence is a factor to promote the quality of life. In addition, there is a positive relationship between emotional intelligence, mental health, and physical performance. High emotional intelligence is effective in improving the status of these 2 areas.
