Analysis shows that emotional intelligence may reduce burnout rates in nurse managers, implying improved patient care.
Burnout in nursing continues to negatively impact the healthcare system, nursing supply, patient care quality, and organizational success. New perspectives and strategies for effective solutions to address this persistent problem and increase nurse satisfaction and retention are needed. This article proposes a novel intervention for decreasing nursing burnout: emotional intelligence. This intervention decreases burnout and exhaustion and increases personal well-being, self-control, self-awareness, emotionality, sociability, and personal boundary setting. Results from the initial study are presented, and continuing questions for future studies are proposed.
