“…That study with British psychiatric patients revealed that they complained of some nursing professionals that disrespected them, suggesting that these professionals worked in psychiatry only for the money, not because they liked what they did (Doas, 2013). The Australian nurses believed that so there is quality in nursing care in mental health services nursing professionals should enjoy their job and have a genuine interest in helping others.…”

ABSTRACT. The objective was to investigate the perception of nurses, nursing assistants and patients about nursing care at a general hospital psychiatric unit. Exploratory study with 16/20 nursing professionals and 27/84 patients from the psychiatric inpatient unit of a general hospital. Interviews were based on guiding questions about the nursing care in said unit. Thematic content analysis was adopted. The subjects acknowledge that nursing promotes the recovery of patients, that it is essential during hospitalization, and defend that working in psychiatry requires a taste and profile for it. The patients value warmth, attention, serenity, good mood, patience, concern, presence, promptness, respect and responsibility. The professionals value affection, dedication, effort, patience, security and serenity. Professionals and patients wonder if changes in nursing care during hospitalization stimulate independence/autonomy for discharge or reflect carelessness. In conclusion, nursing care is essential during psychiatric hospitalization, but it requires that professionals like it and have the right profile.Keywords: nursing care. psychiatric unit. mental health. psychiatric nursing.Percepção sobre o cuidado de enfermagem psiquiátrica em unidade de internação de hospital geral RESUMO.

“…In the field of nursing education, views of clinical educators of nursing education in New Zealand were explored, and revealed that individual and social skills were among the features of emotional competence (Wilson & Carryer, ). Similarly, Doas () reviewed daily interactions of psychiatric nurses in Western Pennsylvania and found the concept of emotional competence to represent self‐awareness, mood management and managing relationships. No further studies were found in line with the main objective of this study; that is, explaining the characteristics of emotional competence for gerontological nurses in hospital settings in Iran.…”

Aim and objectives Defining the components of emotional competence in caring for older people in Iranian hospitals. Background People of older age are the largest recipients of healthcare services in hospitals. Thus, it is essential to establish what characteristics of emotional competence are required for nursing older people. Design This qualitative descriptive‐exploratory study was conducted in Iran from September 2015 to April 2016. Methods Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 25 participants (nine nurses, 12 nurse managers, four clinical instructors), chosen by purposive and snowball sampling based on saturation. Data were analysed by content analysis method. Results Qualitative content analysis identified two core categories and seven subcategories from the data: (a) Individual emotional competence with five subcategories of positive attitude, spiritual maturity, emotional self‐control, adherence to professional ethics and creativity and innovation, and (b) social emotional competence with two subcategories of relationship management and compassionate care. Conclusion Emotional competence was identified as one of the main components of nursing skills when caring for older people. Gerontological nurses should demonstrate emotional competence in caring for older people and include a positive attitude, spiritual maturity, emotional self‐control, adherence to professional ethics, creativity in care, successful relationship management and compassionate care in their practice. Implications for practice These findings can be used to guide development of emotional competencies for nursing older people.

Objective:The increasing complexity of the healthcare environment calls for increasing emotional intelligence (EI) competence in nurses. This study assessed the EI competence of 164 baccalaureate nursing alumni who graduated during the years 2007-2010 from three Benedictine institutions located in the Midwestern United States to see if there was growth of EI with experience as a registered nurse (RN), and to determine if age, gender, grade point average (GPA), and years of total healthcare work experience prior to graduation predicted EI.Methods:Participants completed the web-based Mayer–Salovey–Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) and a demographic survey.Results:Findings indicated 79.4% of participants were competent or higher on the MSCEIT total EI score. Percentages of nurses scoring in the competent or higher range on each of the four branch scores of perceiving, using, understanding and managing emotions were 80.6%, 72.7%, 84.2%, and 84.9% respectively. There were no significant differences on EI scores between graduates with 1-2 years compared to 3-5 years of experience as a RN. Results of a linear stepwise regression indicated being female was a significant predictor on the MSCEIT total EI score (P = 0.015) and using emotions branch (P = 0.047). Findings also indicated GPA (P < 0.001) and being female (P = 0.023) were significant predictors of EI on the understanding emotions branch.Conclusions:The findings indicate there is work to be done to improve the EI competence of nursing graduates. Continued research on the topic of EI and nursing is needed to build the knowledge base on how to promote positive patient outcomes.
