Abstract :
Introduction
Emotional Intelligence is a vital component in both
personal and professional aspects of life. Despite more
than 30 years of research, there is still no concrete proof
that one concept defines emotional intelligence as the
capacity of an individual to recognise, evaluate, and
control his or her own and other people's emotions. To
measure multifaceted emotional intelligence, there are
many different tools and methods. The Emotional
Intelligent Quotient is another name for it. It is described
as "the capacity of a person to perceive, evaluate, and
manage his or her own and other people's emotions."Objectives
To measure the level of emotional intelligence among
the nursing students using the Trait Emotional
Intelligence Questionnaire.
To find the association and co-relation of emotional
intelligence with selected socio-demographic
variables and related traits.Methodology
The study was conducted in Sharda School of
Nursing Science And Research, Sharda University. Total
of 91 samples who satisfied the inclusive criteria were
selected using a probability systematic random sampling
technique. The baseline data was collected using
demographic performa and structured questionnaire
was used to assess the level of emotional intelligence
among the nursing students. Descriptive and inferential
statistics were used to analyse the data collected.Results
A total of 91 students were elected through
probability systematic random sampling technique. Our
study depicts that the socio- demographic variables had
shown statistically significant association between fourdimensions of emotional intelligence- - wellbeing, self-
control, emotionality and sociability among nursing
students with chi-square value of p<0.05 level. Also it
was found that the demographic variables- type of
family, occupation and income had shown statistically
significant association with emotional intelligence among
nursing students with chi-square value of p<0.05 level. P
value is significant in occupation of mother as 0.016,
0.040 in annual income, 0.00001** in type of family. The
distribution and frequency of emotional intelligence
among the nursing students shows that 46% students
have high emotional intelligence.Conclusion
Present study concluded that majority of study
participants have high level of emotional intelligence
because of better growth and good parenting of students
by housewife mothers as percentage is high 78.2% may
be because of more time spent with their children. A
student who belongs to low middle class family i.e.
annual income of the family is less than 1 lakh has high
emotional intelligence of 63.04%. Students living in
nuclear family have high emotional intelligence of
52.17%.
