背景:医疗保健专业学生的高职业倦怠会对学习成绩产生不利影响,心理健康,和生活质量。情商是一种可训练的技能,可以防止倦怠,改善心理健康,减少焦虑和压力,然而,它缺乏标准化纳入许多医疗保健专业计划课程。
目的:探索情绪智力作为缓解倦怠的工具的效用,这项研究的目的是确定在医疗专业学生的跨专业样本中情绪智力和职业倦怠之间的关系,并确定相关变量。
方法:横断面调查研究。
方法:在2022年秋季通过全国分布的在线调查收集了14周的数据。
方法:147名来自以下专业或博士课程的医疗保健专业学生:运动训练理学硕士(ATC),物理治疗博士(DPT),理学硕士或职业治疗博士(OT/OTD),语言病理学硕士(SLP),医学博士(MD)医师助理研究(PA-S),护理学学士(RN),或护士执业者研究(NP)。
方法:参与者完成了人口统计表格(个人/学校相关变量,包括先前的教育和正念习惯),特质型情绪智力问卷-简表(TEIQue-SF),奥尔登伯格倦怠清单-学生(OLBI-S),和RU-SATED睡眠健康量表。
结果:情绪智力和倦怠之间存在很大的负相关(r=-0.591,p<.001)。情绪智力和年龄是职业倦怠的重要预测因素。以前的情绪智力学习和正念练习也证明了情绪智力的显着差异。
结论:这些研究结果表明,更高的情绪智力可能对医疗保健专业学生的职业倦怠和幸福感产生积极影响。应探索旨在提高情绪智力的教育干预措施,以纳入医疗保健专业教育计划课程。
BACKGROUND: High prevalence of burnout amongst healthcare profession students results in detrimental effects on academic performance, mental health, and quality of life. Emotional intelligence is a trainable skillset demonstrated to protect against burnout, improve psychological well-being, and decrease anxiety and stress, yet it lacks standardized inclusion in many healthcare profession program curricula.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the utility of emotional intelligence as a tool for burnout mitigation, this study aimed to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and burnout in an interprofessional sample of healthcare profession students and identify related variables.
METHODS: Cross-sectional survey study.
METHODS: Data was collected over 14 weeks in the fall of 2022 via a nationally distributed online survey.
METHODS: 147 healthcare profession students from the following professional or doctoral programs: Master of Science in Athletic Training (ATC), Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), Master of Science in or Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OT/OTD), Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), Doctor of Medicine (MD), Physician Assistant Studies (PA-S), Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN), or Nurse Practitioner Studies (NP).
METHODS: Participants completed a demographics form (personal/school related variables including prior education and mindfulness habits), the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF), Oldenberg Burnout Inventory-Student (OLBI-S), and RU-SATED sleep health scale.
RESULTS: A large negative correlation was noted between emotional intelligence and burnout (r = -0.591, p < .001). Emotional intelligence and age were significant predictors of burnout. Previous emotional intelligence learning and mindfulness practice also demonstrated significant differences in emotional intelligence.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that greater emotional intelligence may have a positive impact on burnout and wellbeing in healthcare profession students. Educational interventions aimed to improve emotional intelligence should be explored for inclusion in healthcare profession educational program curricula.
