The Effect of Emotional Intelligence Skills Training on Resilience of Critical Care Unit Nurses

This study aimed to investigate the effect of emotional intelligence skill training on the resilience of critical care unit nurses. This interventional study, which used a pretest-posttest control group design, was conducted in ۲۰۱۸ in Khorramabad, Iran. Considering the inclusion criteria, ۵۰ critical care nurses were selected using purposive sampling and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups through the random number table. The Connor-Davidson resilience scale was completed to assess resilience in the pretest-posttest comparisons. The intervention included training emotional intelligence skills in seven ۶۰-minute sessions. The results showed that after the emotional intelligence training intervention, a statistically significant difference was observed in the mean resilience score between the experimental and control groups (p<۰.۰۵). Training can be designed based on the present study to improve emotional intelligence for nurses in critical care departments. It is recommended that nursing managers consider this important issue for nurses in planning and training.
