Emotional Intelligence and Personality Traits as Predictors of Occupational Therapy students' Practice Education Performance: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Abstract: This study investigated whether occupational therapy students' emotional intelligence and personality traits are predictive of specific aspects of their fieldwork performance. A total of 114 second and third year undergraduate occupational therapy students (86.6% response rate) completed the Genos Emotional Intelligence Inventory (Genos EI) and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). Fieldwork performance scores were obtained from the Student Practice Evaluation Form Revised (SPEF-R). Linear regressions wer… Show more

“…In one study for the various sub-scales of emotional intelligence, the minimum Cronbach's alpha value was above 0.70, except for one subscale (0.68), which indicates sufficient reliability of the instrument. The Genos 31-items has been used in many studies with large workplace samples across the United States, Canada and Australia (Brown, Williams, & Etherington, 2016). It was also used by Jayawardena and Gregar (2014), Kumar and Sharma (2012), Langenhoven (2015) and Seyal and Afzaal (2013).…”

“…Health sciences programs are implementing more self-reflective practices in coursework everyday (Schwind et al, 2014), but is self-reflection actually creating autonomous, qualified, and self-directed professionals who can meet the challenges of today's healthcare climate? Research on the subject is insufficient in nursing, physical therapy, and medicine and conflicting evidence exists on whether self-reflection practices are effective in promoting academic and clinical success (Andonian, 2013;Brown et al, 2016;Embo et al, 2015;Mann et al, 2009;Mason, Vitkovitch, Lambert, & Jepson, 2014). Furthermore, evidence on self-reflection practices in the field of occupational therapy (OT) education is non-existent, thus supporting the need for this study and the opportunity to examine student conceptions of self-reflection in Level II Fieldwork.…”

“…Education scientists Boud, Keogh, and Walker (1985) defined self-reflection as "a deliberate affective activity in which individuals engage to explore their experiences in order to lead to new understanding and appreciation" (p.19), including recapturing the experience, thinking about it, mulling it over, and evaluating it. Currently, in health sciences professions, self-reflection is seen as mental processing with a purpose to review an experience of practice in order to develop greater emotional intelligence and an understanding of both the self and the situation so that future encounters with the situation are informed from previous encounters (Brown et al, 2016;Schwind et al, 2014;Stephens et al, 2012).…”

“…Teaching methods include role modeling, practice/experience opportunities, small group discussion, reading assignments, formal advisor meetings/mentoring, and lectures (Cruess & Cruess, 2006;Davis, 2009;Finn, Garner, & Sawdon, 2010;Mason et al, 2014). Students should also be educated on emotional intelligence, as understanding emotions and emotional self-management techniques was found to be linked to skills in communication, increased client centeredness, and increased intervention skills (Andonian, 2013;Brown, Williams, & Etherington, 2016).…”
