Perceived Parenting Styles and Emotional Intelligence Among Adolescents in Vietnam

Emotional intelligence (EI) has a significant role in psychological well-being and is affected by parenting styles. There is no evidence about this relationship in countries with the impact of Confucianism and feudalism, in which parents use authoritarian caregiving to foster their children. The aim of the current study was to examine the association between parenting styles and EI among Vietnamese adolescents. This is a cross-sectional school survey using multilevel regression analyses controlling for potential confounders and school cluster effects. The principal data sources were the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire—Adolescent Short Form, which has been translated into Vietnamese, and the locally validated Parental Bonding Instrument, which assesses three main parenting styles: warmth, overprotectiveness, and authoritarianism. Results from 1,593 students revealed that boys had significantly higher overall EI, Well-Being, and Self-Control subscale scores than girls. The warmth of parents during childhood was associated with higher EI, while overprotectiveness and authoritarianism from mothers were associated with lower EI among adolescents. This study supports the impact of parenting styles on EI. The warmth and care from both mother and father will benefit the emotional development of their children in Vietnam.

Occupational (professional) boredom results in low performance at work. It has been positively associated with high levels of anxiety and depression as well as premature death. However, occupational boredom has not been extensively studied among working nurses. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and occupational boredom in nurses working in both public (52.9%) and private (47.1%) health units in Greece. A cross-sectional study was conducted among a convenience sample of 189 nurses (84.7% females) with an average age of 40 years. Emotional intelligence was evaluated with the use of The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form and Professional boredom was assessed with the use of the Boredom Proneness Scale. The majority of Nurses showed relatively high values of total Emotional Intelligence (EI), and marginally low values of overall Professional Boredom. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between the overall Professional Boredom of Nurses and the Well-being, Self-control, Emotionality and Sociability subscales of EI, as well as total EI (p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analyses showed that the three dimensions of EI (Well-being, Self-Control and Emotionality) explained 39.0% of the variability of the total Professional Boredom of the working Nurses.

Care Nursing

Background: Critical care is described as complex, detailed healthcare in a unique, technologically rich environment. Critical care nursing requires a strong knowledge base and exceptional clinical and technological skills to cope in this demanding environment. Many registered nurses (RNs) commencing work in these areas may lack resilience, and because of the stress of the critical care environment, coping mechanisms need to be developed. To prevent burnout and to enable critical care nurses to function holistically, emotional intelligence (EI) is essential in the development of such coping mechanisms.Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the EI of RNs commencing work in critical care units in a private hospital group in Gauteng, South Africa.Method: The design used for this study was a quantitative descriptive survey. The target population were RNs commencing work in critical care units. Data were collected from RNs using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire – Short Form and analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software.Results: The sample (n = 30) had a mean age of 32 years. Most of the participants (63%) qualified through the completion of a bridging course between 2010 and 2012. The majority (62%) of the sample had less than 2 years’ experience as RNs.Conclusion: The EI of RNs commencing work in a critical care environment was indicative of a higher range of Global EI, with the well-being factor scoring the highest, followed by the emotionality factor, then self-control, with the sociability factor scoring the lowest.

ABSTRACT Background As part of the globalization of medical education, residency programs in Oman have adopted competency-based standards by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education International (ACGME-I). Correctly perceiving the emotions of others and managing one's own emotions are essential to high-quality patient care. Objective We tested the reliability and construct validity of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire–Short Form (TEIQue-SF), and assessed trait Emotional Intelligence (EI) in Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB) residents in multiple specialties. We explored for correlations with trainees' sociodemographic background data. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, observational study between February and August 2017. Participants were OMSB residents. We administered the TEIQue-SF and collected sociodemographic data from participants. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify independent predictors of trait EI. Results The present cohort scored high in the trait EI subscale of Well-being, followed by Sociability, Self-control, and Emotionality. Among sociodemographic factors, female gender and high income were significant predictors of TEIQue-SF's Well-being subscale and high income and living in a rented home were significant predictors of the Sociability subscale. Conclusions This is the first study conducted among medical residents in Oman regarding trait EI and its correlates. Our findings of overall high EI and several socioeconomic predictors echo the literature on the assessment of EI in trainees. The findings add to the evidence of cross-cultural applicability of instruments to measure trait EI, and use assessments of EI in resident selection and education.

The current study presents the results of the adaptation of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue; Petrides, 2009 ) to the Georgian population. Nine hundred twenty two individuals participated in the standardization of the instrument (267 male and 655 female participants, from 17 to 70 years). Results from exploratory factor analyses indicate that the factor structure of the British TEIQue is broadly replicated in the Georgian translation. The Georgian Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire comprises 15 primary facets and four higher-order factors: Emotionality, Sociability, Self-Control, and Well-Being. The Cronbach α reliabilities of the TEIQue factors ranged from .69 to .82, and from .62 to .81 for the 15 facets. TEIQue global scores were normally distributed. There were no gender differences in global TEI scores, though such differences did emerge in some TEI factors and facets.

Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire

Abstract Introduction Lack of sleep has been associated with altered connectivity between the emotion-regulating regions of the medial prefrontal cortex and the emotionally reactive structure of the amygdala. This altered brain function following insufficient sleep is believed to impair a range of emotional perception and regulation capacities. Our prior research has also shown that two nights of total sleep deprivation led to significant declines in Trait Emotional Intelligence (TEI) and other aspects of emotional processing and perception. Nonetheless, the extent to which general sleep quality and acute sleep duration may contribute to everyday TEI outside of laboratory conditions remains unknown. We hypothesized that poorer sleep quality and the amount of sleep obtained the night before assessment would both predict TEI scores. Methods 447 adults (18–40 yrs; 72% female) completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a question about the number of hours of sleep obtained the night before the assessment (SLEEP), as well as the Petrides Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue). Sleep metrics were used to predict Total TEI, and the four TEIQue factors (Wellbeing, Self-Control, Emotionality, and Sociability) using multiple linear regression. Results Both PSQI (β=-.275, p<.00001) and SLEEP (β=.130, p<.00001) each contributed uniquely to prediction of Total TEI (R2=.11, p<.00001). Wellbeing was also predicted by a combination of PSQI (β=-.272, p<.00001) and SLEEP (β=.129, p=.006). In contrast, for Self-Control, only PSQI was significantly related (β=-.296, p<.00001). Both PSQI (β=-.131, p<.007) and SLEEP (β=.103, p<.034) each contributed to Emotionality. Finally, both PSQI (β=-.126, p<.010) and SLEEP (β=.107, p<.028) each contributed to Sociability. Conclusion Greater total TEI was uniquely predicted by a linear combination of 1) better general sleep quality over the past month and 2) greater quantity of sleep the night before the assessment session. The same pattern held for all scale factors, except Self-Control, which was only related to sleep quality over the past month. Although limited by the cross-sectional nature of the data, these findings support prior work suggesting that lack of sleep alters normal emotional processing and further suggests that both long-term sleep quality and acute restriction of sleep can affect trait-like emotional domains.

Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire

Objective: The purpose of this study was to Standardize and evaluate the psychometric properties of Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) in the Persian adult population. Method: 551 students completed the Farsi version of this questionnaire, along with the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (SEIS) and the Neo-Five Factor Questionnaire (NEO-FFI). Results: The results of exploratory factor analysis, showed that the Persian version of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire consists of four factors: well-being, self-control, emotionality and sociability, which is quite similar to the original study. In order to measure reliability, two methods of internal consistency and split half reliability were used. Cronbachchr('39')s alpha of .95 was calculated for global trait emotional intelligence and ranged from .69 to .90 for factors. In the split half reliability method, the Cronbachchr('39')s alpha test for the first half of the test was .92 and for the second half was .89. The convergent/discriminant validity of this questionnaire was examined using the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and the Neo Five Factor Questionnaire. The results showed that this questionnaire had a positive correlation with most subscales of Schutte Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and had a negative correlation with the neuroticism subscale of the five-factor questionnaire. In this study, there were gender differences between the scores of women and men, as women had higher scores in global trait emotional intelligence and factors of well-being and emotionality. Conclusion: In general, the findings showed that the Persian version of the TEIQue has an appropriate reliability and validity for measuring this structure in the adult population of Iran.

Abstract Background: Infectious illness outbreaks, such as COVID-19, have a devastating impact on physical health and social and psychological well-being. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the quality of life (QOL) after the COVID-19 outbreak in a sample of the Lebanese population and compare sociodemographic factors associated with QOL among COVID-19 patients and healthy controls. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted between January and March 2021 during the lockdown imposed by the Lebanese Government enrolled 2349 Lebanese adults. The major dependent variable was the 12-item Short Form Survey (SF-12), often used as a QOL measure for assessing the impact of health on an individual's everyday life.Results: In participants with non-positive PCR, linear regression showed that higher income (Beta=2.224) is associated with a higher QOL score. Whereas higher household crowding index (Beta=-0.537), older age (Beta=-0.109), being married (Beta=-1.308), having hypertension (Beta=-2.479), and other chronic diseases (Beta=-3.704) were associated with a lower QOL score.In participants with positive PCR, linear regression showed that the female gender (Beta=2.416) and a higher income (Beta=4.856) were associated with a higher QOL score. Whereas shortness of breath (beta=-2.607), sore throat (Beta=-5.654), sneezing (Beta=-3.761), and having a chronic disease other than hypertension (Beta=-3.181) were associated with a lower QOL score.Conclusion: Overall, factors such as age, male gender, married status, crowded household, low monthly income, high BMI, the presence of chronic disease, and severe COVID-19 symptoms were related to lower QOL after the covid-19 pandemic.

The Impact

Background Disability in adults with low back pain (LBP) is associated with negative back pain beliefs (BPBs). Adult BPBs can be positively influenced with education, resulting in reduced LBP disability. By late adolescence, the prevalence of LBP reaches adult levels. The relationship among LBP experience, LBP impact, and BPBs has not been investigated in late adolescence. Objective The aim of this study was to document unknown relationships among LBP experience, LBP impact, and BPBs in 17-year-olds. Design A cross-sectional study design was used. Methods Adolescents (n=1,126) in the Raine Study provided full information on LBP, LBP impact (sought professional advice or treatment, taken medication, missed school or work, interfered with normal activities, interfered with physical activities), BPBs, and a number of covariates. Results Back pain beliefs were more positive in participants with experience of LBP (X̄=30.2, SD=5.6) than in those without experience of LBP (X̄=28.5, SD=5.1). Individuals with LBP without activity modification impacts had more positive BPBs than those with activity modification impacts, even after adjustment for mental well-being and sex. The adjusted difference in BPBs between participants with experience of LBP but no activity modification impacts and those reporting all 3 activity modification impacts was 2.9 points (95% confidence interval=1.7 to 4.2). Participants with no activity modification impacts had more positive BPBs than those with no experience of LBP (adjusted difference=2.2 points, 95% confidence interval=1.4 to 2.9). More positive BPBs also were associated with female sex, lower body mass index, higher family income, better 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) Mental Health scale scores, and more positive primary caregiver beliefs. Limitations Cause and effect cannot be ascertained with the cross-sectional design. Conclusion Differences in BPBs are associated with different levels of LBP impact at 17 years of age. This finding provides a potential target for intervention early during the life course.
