Enhancing emotional intelligence and mental well-being for stress management in nursing education - a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNursing students experience high levels of stress due to the combined demands of academic coursework and clinical training. Emotional intelligence (EI) has been shown to support stress management and enhance mental well-being in this context. Despite their potential benefits, there is limited qualitative research on EI-focused interventions in nursing education. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of a 10-session self-development program on enhancing emotional intelligence and stress management among second-year nursing students in Norway.
designAn exploratory qualitative design.
methodsData were collected from 21 Norwegian university nursing students aged 21-35 using semi-structured interviews. The transcribed interviews were thematically analyzed.
resultsThree main themes were produced: (1) Fostering a sense of connectedness amongst peers, including categories such as recognition, emotional safety, trust, common values, and meaningfulness, (2) Strengthened self-awareness, including categories such as awareness of one's own and others' emotions, honesty, genuineness, upholding a professional image and protecting oneself through emotion regulation, (3) Development of emotional resilience, including categories such as adaptability, support from peers, and changing mindset.
conclusionsThis study provides support for the value of self-development programs in a nursing education context. The self-development program created an environment where nursing students felt safe and secure, valued trust, and could communicate openly with each other, which in turn may foster better psychological well-being. Moreover, the findings highlight the value of EI training for nursing students in allowing them to develop awareness of their emotions and those of others, as well as regulate their own emotions to cope better with challenges at university and foster skills that will enable them to deal professionally with future workplace challenges. This supports the value of a stronger emphasis on structured EI and self-development training in nursing curricula, with the potential to inform educational strategies and policy aimed at promoting psychological readiness and long-term professional sustainability.
