Program Development Study for Emotional Intelligence

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
For qualified nursing care, emotional intelligence skills of nurses should be developed during their vocational training. This research was carried out in order to develop and evaluate the Emotional Intelligence Training Program based on the Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Model for nursing students in line with Demirel's program development model.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The experiment was planned in a randomized controlled experimental design with placebo, control group (pretest-posttest control pattern), blind technique. It is a research with a mixed pattern, since the individual in-depth interview method, one of the qualitative research methods, is also used in the research together with quantitative methods. The research was carried out with first-year nursing faculty students (N: 250) of a university. The Emotional Intelligence training program created and was applied to the experimental group in the specified period. In order to minimize the risk of interaction, a different training program was simultaneously applied to the placebo group.
