“…Many studies have found that EI has a significant impact on the nurse-patient relationship and the job satisfaction of nurses (Codier, 2020;Senanayake et al, 2020). Furthermore, when healthcare professionals begin to express compassion, patient satisfaction and outcomes improve (Nightingale et al, 2018).…”

The ability to recognize, control, and evaluate emotions is defined as emotional intelligence (EI). EI is a vital part of ward management and patient care in nursing practice. When EI is assessed and instilled in nursing students regularly, it paves the way for a long-term career. Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) has been identified as a useful tool for assessing emotional intelligence in nursing students. The goal of this study was to translate and adapt the 33-item SSEIT to use in Sinhala. The developer granted permission to translate the SSEIT into Sinhala. The cross-cultural adaptation was completed in five stages: (I) initial translation, (II) translation synthesis, (III) back translation, (IV) Expert Committee Delphi review, and (V) pre-final version testing. The translated version's content and consensual validity were assessed using a two-round Delphi process with five experts. Items rated 0-3 range by 70% of the raters were removed or reworded. The process was repeated for the reworded items, and those with 70% or higher ratings in categories 4-6 and/or 7-9 were kept. Following that, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was evaluated using I-CVI, Universal Agreement (S-CVI/UA), and Average CVI (S-CVI/Ave). Finalized SSEIT was administered to 197 nursing undergraduates from Kotelawala Defence University in Sri Lanka. In the Sinhala version of the SSEIT, the maximum CVI of each individual item (I-CVI=1.0) and the maximum overall CVI (S-CVI/UA = 1.0; S-CVI/Ave = 1.0) were also displayed. Cronbach's alpha was 0.963 which indicates a very high internal consistency The Sinhalese version of the SSEIT is a robust and reliable tool that has been culturally adapted to test EI in nursing students.
