Abstract: (1277 Views)
Background and Objectives: Evidence supports a close relationship between emotional intelligence and quality of life. This study aimed to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and quality of life among students of the School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 182 undergraduate students of the School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, were selected, and they answered the standard 12-item Quality of Life and the Bradberry-Greaves’ Emotional Intelligence questionnaires. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data.
Results: One-way ANOVA showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between self-awareness score and quality of life (p=0.022), self-management score and quality of life (p<0.001), relationship management score and quality of life (p=0.003), and the overall score of emotional intelligence and quality of life (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The findings of the present study confirm the relationship between emotional intelligence and the quality of life of students. It is recommended that universities take steps to provide an appropriate platform for enhancing the quality of life of students by incorporating emotional intelligence skills into their educational programs.
