Insights into the relationship between emotional intelligence and critical thinking among nursing students.
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 24 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
backgroundEmotional intelligence (EI) and critical thinking (CT) are critical skills for nursing students, but the specific mechanisms underlying their interaction remain unclear in resource-constrained settings like Palestine, where unique contextual factors may influence their relationship.
objectiveThis study examined the relationship between EI and CT disposition among nursing students at the Arab American University, Palestine.
methodsA cross-sectional design was utilized, with 288 s- to fourth-year nursing students (a 96% response rate) being recruited. Validated scales, the Schutte Self-Reported Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) and Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CTDS), were utilized. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression analysis (F = 89.47, p < 0.001).
resultsParticipants exhibited high EI (M = 122.5 ± 16.1) and moderate CT (M = 43.1 ± 6.1). EI and CT were strongly positively correlated (r = 0.683, p < 0.001). Regression analysis identified EI (β = 0.658, p < 0.001), being male (β = 0.131, p = 0.002), and having a family member working in healthcare (β = 0.087, p = 0.043) as significant predictors of CT disposition.
conclusionEI demonstrates a strong correlation with CT among Palestinian nursing students. Integrating EI training into curricula is associated with higher CT disposition and may be related to differences in clinical decision-making in high-pressure healthcare settings. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
