Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence And Efficiency Among Nursing Students, Pre And Post Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The present research work has analyzed the relationship between Emotional intelligence and efficiency among nursing students, pre and post COVID-19 pandemic. For testing the given hypothesis and for fulfillment of the required objective we have used Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, WLEIS for measuring the emotional intelligence of nursing students and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) for measuring the efficiency of the nursing students. For that purpose, we have collected data of 150 sample points. Before covid-19 more than 53% respondents are highly emotionally intelligent while the only 13% respondents were very low emotionally intelligent. Similarly, almost 60% respondents were highly efficient and the only 20% respondents were low efficient. After covid-19 more than 65% respondents are highly emotionally intelligent while the only 6.7% respondents were very low emotionally intelligent. Similarly, almost 77% respondents were highly efficient and the only 10% respondents were low efficient. The change in the numbers clearly showed the impact of Covid-19 on the relationship between emotional intelligence and efficiency among nursing students. For testing purpose, we have used t test which turns out in the form of the rejection of our null hypothesis and we have concluded that there is an impact of covid-19 on the relationship between emotional intelligence and efficiency among nursing students.
