Piel Pol. 2019;1(71):80–85. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20883/pielpol.2019.11 Emotional intelligence and social competencies are vital in maintaining
interpersonal relations. A holistic approach towards patients
is possible only due to the combination of nurses’ professional
competencies and soft skills in dealing with people. This
paper presents the features of the glossary apparatus and methods
available for measuring emotional intelligence and social
competencies. A vast number of studies indicate that care provided
by nurses who have developed the aforementioned characteristics
well is perceived as being better. Those characteristics
are also an important factor shielding from burning out. Studying
this kind of intelligence and social competencies is a pivotal task,
so as to broaden our knowledge on this topic and develop further
empirical research. The knowledge about, as well as the measurement
of emotional intelligence and social competencies are
imperative in implementing their assumptions in real life. Having
them in the curriculum can streamline the process of teaching
nurses-to-be and greatly improve the everyday practice.
Key words: social competencies, emotional intelligence, nursing care.
