Background: Prior research has investigated various strategies to improve health, wellbeing and the job-related outcomes of nurses. However, the scope of this evidence is not clear and the types of intervention most likely to have positive outcomes are unknown. Objective: To provide an overview and synthesis of the effectiveness of interventions conducted with the goal of improving health, wellbeing and the job-related outcomes of nurses. Methods: A systematic database search was conducted from January 2000 to December 2018, with pre-defined criteria (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; MEDLINE and PubMed; EMBASE; CINAHL; PsycINFO; and BioMed Central). In total, 136 intervention studies with a total sample of 16,129 participants (range 9–3381) were included and evaluated. Data extraction, quality assessment and risk of bias analyses were performed. Results: Studies included randomised controlled trials (RCTs; n = 52, 38%), randomised crossover design studies (n = 2, 1.5%) and non-randomised pre-post studies with a control group (n = 31, 23%) and without a control group (n = 51, 37.5%). The majority of interventions focused on education, physical activity, mindfulness, or relaxation. Thirty-seven (27%) studies had a multimodal intervention approach. On average, studies had relatively small samples (median = 61; mode = 30) and were conducted predominantly in North America (USA/Canada, n = 53). The findings were mixed overall, with some studies reporting benefits and others finding no effects. Dietary habits was the most successfully improved outcome (8/9), followed by indices of body composition (20/24), physical activity (PA) (11/14), and stress (49/66), with >70% of relevant studies in each of these categories reporting improvements. The lowest success rate was for work-related outcomes (16/32). Separate analysis of RCTs indicated that interventions that focus solely on education might be less likely to result in positive outcomes than interventions targeting behavioural change. Conclusions: Interventions targeting diet, body composition, PA, or stress are most likely to have positive outcomes for nurses’ health and/or wellbeing. The methodologically strongest evidence (RCTs) is available for body composition and stress. Interventions relying solely on educational approaches are least likely to be effective. Organisational outcomes appear to be more challenging to change with lifestyle intervention, likely requiring more complex solutions including changes to the work environment. There is a need for more high-quality evidence since many studies had moderate or high risk of bias and low reporting quality.

“…Their findings showed that after three months the participants' emotional intelligence levels had increased. In a previous study, Sarabia-Cobo et al (2017) evaluated the results of a 16 hour emotional intelligence training program that was undertaken by a group of nurses. The workshops focused on the development of emotional intelligence and findings indicated that emotional intelligence levels increase significantly and further, this increase was sustained for at least one year.…”

Emotional intelligence during clinical placement: nursing students' experiences of affective events

Lewis¹

This study seeks to determine whether emotional distress during the first clinical placement is a cause of attrition from nursing programs. There is an impending shortage of nurses over the next decade as healthcare loses a generation of older nurses to retirement. The increasing demand of an unprecedented ageing population requiring health services has the potential to result in nursing shortages. Many nurses work in emotionally charged and stressful environments which can lead to burnout and a decision to leave nursing altogether. If nurses can regulate their emotions at work, such dire consequences may be avoided. Nursing students learn alongside a registered nurse and are subject to the same challenging situations. They may be exposed to levels of emotional distress for which they have not been prepared. On this point, previous research indicates that an inability to mediate the effects of emotional engagement during clinical placement contributes to attrition from nursing programs. Attrition from nursing programs is multifactorial. To become a nurse requires the attainment of knowledge, the ability for clinical reasoning and highly developed psychomotor and interpersonal skills. Effective interpersonal skills to engage with patients, their families and other health care workers are reliant on healthy levels of emotional intelligence. If emotional intelligence is lacking, then the ability to manage the demands of human relationships within the health care environment may cause emotional distress. This study will examine the influence of emotional intelligence on affective events experienced by nursing students undertaking their first clinical placement. Research Design A mixed method design was employed to examine the influence of emotional intelligence on affective events experienced by nursing students. Three sub-studies were conducted. In Study One, the emotional intelligence of nursing students, as a positive coping strategy for emotional encounters, was measured with the Mayer Salovey Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) before clinical placement. Data analysis identified if there were relationships between the emotional intelligence scores and other characteristics of the students. In Study Two, nursing students were asked to complete a written reflection about an emotionally challenging situation that occurred during their clinical placement. This approach allowed the nursing students to both discuss and reflect on events in a manner that contributed to learning outcomes. The reflective data were used to inform the final 3.6.

The onset age of anxiety is decreasing worldwide, yet the majority of the study conducted on anxiety were focused on adult populations. This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of psychological capital and coping style tendency on the relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety in Chinese adolescents and provide empirical evidence for research and prevention. A cross-sectional study recruited 5747 participants from 5 randomly selected middle schools in the northeast China. Study results showed that high emotional intelligence ( P < 0.05), high level of psychological capital ( P < 0.05), and positive coping style tendency ( P < 0.05) were correlated to lower level of anxiety symptoms in adolescents. Psychological capital and coping style tendency performed partial and serial mediating effect on the relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety. Teaching adolescents how to regulate emotions can strengthens their positive mentalities, promotes the use of positive coping strategies, and then attenuates the severity of anxiety symptoms in a nonadditive manner.
