RT Journal Article T1 The effects of high-fidelity simulation training on emotional intelligence in undergraduate nursing students: A prepost intervention study A1 Arrogante Maroto, Óscar A1 Ortuño Soriano, Ismael A1 Fernandes Ribeiro, Ana Sofía A1 Raurell Torredà, Marta A1 Jiménez Rodríguez, Diana A1 Zaragoza García, Ignacio AB BackgroundNurses form and maintain relationships within emotionally charged environments. Consequently, nursing practice requires adequate management of emotions.AimTo evaluate the impact of high-fidelity simulation training on nursing students’ emotional intelligence (EI).MethodsAbout 202 first-year students participated in a quasi-experimental study using a longitudinal design with a single group pre- and postintervention evaluation. Their EI levels were compared at baseline and after the simulation experience using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale – 24 (TMMS-24). A structured debriefing phase was specifically designed to analyze and reflect on nursing students’ emotions, those of the patient, and their partner during the five simulated scenarios.ResultsNursing students significantly improved their EI levels after the simulation sessions. The effect size was medium for the total score of the TMMS-24 and the "emotional clarity" dimension, whereas this effect was small for the "emotional attention" and "emotional repair" dimensions.ConclusionsHigh-fidelity simulation training allows nursing students to improve their EI levels when they have opportunities to interact with simulated patients and participate in a structured debriefing phase aimed at reflecting on emotions.
