EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE & RESILIENCE AMONG NURSING STUDENTS IN A SELECTEDUNIVERSITY, UAE

Abstract

Nursing is a demanding profession that offers unique challenges. Research studies suggest that Nursing students’ emotional intelligence changes over time with years of education and age, suggesting that emotional intelligence skills can be improved. Resilience helps nursing students handle challenges, such as changing learning styles and experiencing their first clinical practice. There seems to be a need to identify support strategies for developing resilience among nursing students in order to strengthen their professional practice.
