It has been shown in this survey that the average of
emotional intelligence in these two groups of students
is at a satisfactory level. The concept of emotional
intelligence in the nursery education program can
help the students better deal with education pressures
and communicate with people, a matter which seems
to be more important than their physical tasks.
Additionally, instructors in nursing schools should
know that nursing students have different levels of
emotional maturity and in this profession there is a
lot of pressure and stress. They should also take this
fact into account that the way to deal with emotions
is attainable to a noticeable extent through learning.
So in addition to the important role of training and
educating the students in the professional basics and
principles, the growth of emotional intelligence in
the clinical environment has, especially, a protecting
role. Freshwater and Stickley (11) state that if the
instructors pay less or no attention to the emotional
intelligence, they will fail in communicating with the
students, a fact which is really important in human
relations.
