What Is Emotional Intelligence & Why Does it Matter In Patient Care?
Emotional intelligence was first defined as;
“The ability to accurately perceive your own and others’ emotions; to understand the signals that emotions send about relationships; and manage your own and others’ emotions.”
John D. Mayer & Peter Salovey, 1990.
When applied to patient care, emotional intelligence enables you to become self-aware in order to regulate your emotions more appropriately. You’ll recognize the emotions of your patients and colleagues with greater clarity to respond more effectively.
It also increases your motivation, empathy, and social skills to achieve more positive outcomes for yourself, your patients, and other healthcare professionals.
Developing your own emotional intelligence will not only help you to better support your patients, but it will allow you to communicate more effectively, handle difficult situations easier, and feel calmer throughout your working day.
Benefits of Improved Emotional Intelligence:
Learn To Recognize Emotions
Recognizing your own emotions and those of the surrounding people allows you to respond appropriately to stressful, difficult, and complicated situations.
Develop Effective Communication
Communication is key to providing successful patient care. Emotional intelligence improves your assertiveness to help you communicate more effectively.
Improve Patient Outcomes
Emotional intelligence promotes patient-centered care, and when patients are more involved in their care, they often recover quicker with greater satisfaction.
Respond Rather Than React
When you react to emotion, it’s often done in haste without consideration for the end result. Understanding emotion will allow you to respond with thoughtful reasoning.
Enhance Patient Care
As a healthcare professional you must act in the best interests of your patients at all times. Understanding their emotions and responding appropriately helps you to achieve this.
