Emotional Intelligence Abilities in Oncology and Palliative Care

A Study of the Influence of Nursing Education on Development of Emotional Intelligence

“…) Other work explored the relationship between EI and conflict, stress, and burnout in staff nurses (Budnik, 2003;Farmer, 2004;Morrison, 2008). Additional studies are beginning to identify EI as an essential component for nursing care of patients (Bailey et al, 2011;Codier et al, 2010;Codier et al, 2011;Davies et al, 2010;Kooker et al, 2007).…”

“…The evidence has been in the form of expert opinion and variable research findings. Themes found in the current nursing research included findings of nurses with high EI having an enhanced capacity to meet the multifaceted demands of practice (Beddoe & Murphy, 2004;Doherty, 2009;Lucas, Laschinger & Wong, 2008;Morrison, 2008;McQueen, 2004;Patterson & Begley, 2011;Smith, Profetto-McGrath, & Cummings, 2009;Vitello-Cicciu, 2003;Young-Ritchie, Laschinger, & Wong, 2009), and this higher level of EI in the nurses may result in improved patient outcomes (Adams et al, 2010;Bailey, Murphy, & Porock, 2011;Codier, Muneno, & Franey, 2011;Codier, Muneno, Franey, & Matsuura, 2010;Davies, Jenkins, & Mabett, 2010;Kooker, Shoultz, & Codier, 2007). In spite of these findings and conclusions, current nursing research related to EI still presents an unclear picture of the relationship of EI and nursing practice because studies have used inconsistent models of EI, thereby making critical analysis between studies difficult.…”

“…Higher emotional intelligence scores correlate with lower levels of perceived stress, positive stress adaptation, less burnout, and positive conflict styles (Augusto Landa, Lopez-Zafra, Berrios Martos, & Aguilar-Luzón, 2008: Birks, McKendree, &Watt, 2009Budnik, 2003;Lando, 2007;Montes-Berges & Augusto, 2007;Morrison, 2008;Por, Barriball, Fitzpatrick & Roberts, 2011;Tjiong, 2000). In nurses, emotional intelligence scores also correlate with parameters of physical and emotional wellness, longer career length, anticipated retention in current jobs, and adaptive responses to organizational change (Augusto Landa et al, 2008;Budnik, 2003;Codier, Kamikawa, Kooker, & Shoultz, 2009;Codier, Kooker, & Shoultz, 2008;Codier, Muneno, & Freitas, 2011;Cummings, Hayduk, & Estabrooks, 2005;Farmer, 2004;Gertis, Derksen, & Verbruggen, 2004;Humpel, Caputi, & Martin, 2001;Lando, 2007;Montes-Berges & Augusto, 2007;Shanta, 2007;Vitello-Cicciuo, 2002;Young-Ritchie, Laschinger, & Wong, 2009).…”
