Abstract

Background: Knowledge around emotional intelligence originated in the 1990s from research regarding thoughts, emotions and abilities. The concept of emotional intelligence has evolved over the last 25 years; however, the understanding and use is still unclear. Despite this, emotional intelligence has been a widely-considered concept within professions such as business, management, education, and within the last 10 years has gained traction within nursing practice. Aims and objectives: The aim of this concept review is to clarify the understanding of the concept emotional intelligence, what attributes signify emotional intelligence, what are its antecedents, consequences, related terms and implications to advance nursing practice. Method: A computerized search was guided by Rodger’s evolutional concept analysis. Data courses included: CINAHL, PyschINFO, Scopus, EMBASE and ProQuest, focusing on articles published in Canada and the United Stated during 1990 to 2017. Results: A total of 23 articles from various bodies of disciplines were included in this integrative concept review. The analysis reveals that there are many inconsistencies regarding the description of emotional intelligence, however, four common attributes were discovered: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and social/relationship management. These attributes facilitate the emotional wellbeing among advance practice nurses and enhances the ability to practice in a way that will benefit patients, families, colleagues and advance practice nurses as working professionals and as individuals. Conclusion: The integration of emotional intelligence is supported within several disciplines as there is consensus on the impact that emotional intelligence has on job satisfaction, stress level, burnout and helps to facilitate a positive environment. Explicit to advance practice nursing, emotional intelligence is a concept that may be central to nursing practice as it has the potential to impact the quality of patient care and outcomes, decision-making, critical thinking and overall the well-being of practicing nurses.

Conclusion

EI has become an important facet in nursing practice in recent years, as sensitivity to mood and emotions is an integral part of care and should not be taken in isolation from how we think and act as professionals [25]. While a great deal of work has been done to understand, and expose EI as a concept, there remains much work to be done, specifically with regards to the inconsistency of attributes. In the context of advance nursing practice, EI helps to facilitates emotional wellbeing among APNs and helps to enhance the ability to practice competencies in a way that will benefit patients, patient’s families, colleagues and themselves as working professionals and as individuals. Ultimately, EI promotes much more than simply awareness of emotions, it allows for nurses to be more equipped to provide quality care and support to their patients, their families, and colleagues. Despite the confusion and misapprehension regarding EI as a concept, it is clear that the ability to recognize and understand EI will remain a vital part of nursing practice moving forward.
