“…The largest group of nurses in Saudi Arabia is foreign, and the majority are from India. In fact, More than half (60-70%) of all working nurses in the country come from abroad [10]. This is reflected in the policy: Saudi Arabia actively recruits staff from countries such as India and the Philippines [4].…”

“…The high number of Indian nurses found within Saudi Arabia is due to attempts made by them to meet their increasing demand for healthcare workers, which could be seen as an example where one country needs another's help because it lacks enough staff members. More specifically, it has been estimated that by 2025, Saudi Arabia will need an additional 1,000,000 nurses to bridge the current gap [10].…”

Introduction Understanding the emotional intelligence (EI) and self-esteem of Indian and Saudi nursing students is important because their future nurse–patient relationships may be influenced by factors related to their unique cultural contexts. Hence, this study sought to investigate the EI and self-esteem of nursing students in Saudi Arabia and India. Methods A descriptive–comparative research design was used to compare 660 nursing students from Saudi Arabia and India who were enrolled in the study from September 2022 to January 2023. Nursing students were recruited from University A in Riyadh and University B in Abha, Saudi Arabia, and from University C in India. Results The study found significant differences in EI scores based on year of study (p < .011), age (p < .024), residence (p < .005), and academic performance (p < .008). Students in later years, over 20 years old, from urban areas, and with good grades, had higher EI scores. Conversely, only age showed a significant difference in the self-esteem scores (p < .002). The year of study (p > .670), residence (p > .430), and academic performance (p > .526) did not significantly affect self-esteem. Finally, urban residence and good academic performance were significant predictors of EI (p < .005), while none of the demographics predicted self-esteem (p > .005). Conclusion Higher emotional intelligence among nursing students can be associated with several variables, such as being in the higher years of study, older age, residing in an urban area, and good academic performance, whereas self-esteem appears to be hardly affected by these indicators but probably influenced by other aspects that were not measured. This implies that educators in relation to self-esteem should know the relationship between emotional intelligence and nursing practice besides healthcare establishments; they need to enhance their teaching methods so that learners can have more resilient attitudes towards work, provide quality patient care, and promote a better learning environment for nurses who will become stronger professionally in the future.

“…A person with high emotional intelligence will be able to understand himself and the emotions of others. People can take advantage of this understanding to improve their behavior and attitude in a positive direction to be able to control emotions, be more motivated, feel satisfied, and be able to overcome the problems they experience (Malina et al, 2021;Astalini et al, 2023;Thomas, Sung, & Bretl, 2023).…”
