Abstract

AbstractAimTo investigate the impact of socio‐demographic factors and job stressors on the emotional intelligence of psychiatric nurses.BackgroundEmotional intelligence plays a crucial role in enabling nurses to effectively manage their own emotions, comprehend the emotions of others and assist individuals in dealing with diverse stressors. Nevertheless, a comprehensive conceptualization of the relationship between job stressors and emotional intelligence remains lacking.DesignThis study employs a multi‐centre cross‐sectional design.MethodsA multi‐centre cross‐sectional survey involving 1083 registered nurses from 11 psychiatric hospitals across four provinces in China was conducted. Non‐probability sampling was utilised. The survey encompassed assessments of nurse job stressors, emotional intelligence using a scale and socio‐demographic characteristics using a questionnaire. A multiple linear regression model was applied to identify significant variables associated with emotional intelligence based on demographic attributes and various nurse job stressors. The study adhered to the STROBE checklist.ResultsThe findings revealed a noteworthy negative correlation between nurse job stressors and emotional intelligence. Socio‐demographic factors and job stressors of certain nurses were able to predict emotional intelligence and its dimensions among psychiatric nurses, with percentages of 44.50%, 40.10%, 36.40%, 36.60% and 34.60%.ConclusionProviding emotional intelligence training for psychiatric nurses could enhance their capacity to cope effectively with workplace stress, particularly among younger nurses who engage in limited physical activities.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe analysis of the relationship between emotional intelligence and nurse job stressors could facilitate early detection and intervention by managers based on pertinent factors. This, in turn, could elevate the emotional intelligence level of psychiatric nurses.No Patient or Public ContributionThis study did not recruit participants, so details of participants were not be involved.
