Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore the domains of emotional intelligence among medical students and ascertain its relationship to academic achievement. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 2340 undergraduate medical students from different Egyptian and Saudi Arabian universities using a semi-structured online abstract including two parts: Socio-demographic data and emotional intelligence questionnaire. Results The study was conducted on 2340 medical students aged (21.5 ± 1.9, range = 17–24 years) from two countries, Saudi Arabia (28.8%) and Egypt (71.2%). Females represented 68.4%. Academic achievement was distributed as excellent 54.1%, very good (28%), good (14.5%) and accepted (3.4%). The total EI score reported that 63.9% of the students had strength while 35.9% needed attention. Managing emotion, motivating oneself and total EI score were significantly higher among Egyptian students in comparison to Saudi Arabia students (P < 0.001). Females showed significantly higher EI scores than males. Egyptian males showed significantly higher EI scores than Saudi Arabian males (P < 0.001). Self-awareness was significantly high in Saudi Arabian females while managing emotions was significantly high among Egyptian females (P < 0.01). Academic achievement showed that EI scores were significantly higher among very good and excellent achievement in comparison to good or accepted achievement except self-awareness which showed that those with accepted achievement had higher self-awareness than those with high achievement. Significant positive correlation was found between EI scores and academic achievement (P < 0.001) Conclusion Emotional intelligence domains relate significantly to academic achievements in medical students. Therefore, this study recommended the necessity of improving the students ‘emotional intelligence in the scientific and community environment with proper interventions strategies through developing program that enhances their academic achievement to play a pivotal role when transforming into business world and recently in academic study.

Introduction: In 21st century, Physicians has to deal with both technical and emotional component associated with doctor patient relationship, technical aspects are taught but emotional aspects are not taught. Aim: To evaluate Emotional Intelligence (EI) in undergraduate medical students of different academic years. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 undergraduate medical students from medical college and tertiary care hospital for two years from January 2018 to February 2020. Demographic information was collected on separate annexure. EI in the study was assessed using emotional quotient self-assessment checklist devised by Sterrett. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire was tested. Emotional quotient self-assessment checklist consists of 30 statements, five each for the six areas. Each question was based on a 5-point Likert scale scoring from 1 to 5 (virtually never=1 to virtually always=5). Results: Out of 200 students, only 16 (8%) could correctly describe about EI. Out of total, 89 (44.5%) felt EI very important, 92 (46%) students felt important while 185 (92.5%) students desired to learn about EI. The EI score in Ist year MBBS was 103.45±13.73 which increased in IInd year MBBS (108.02±12.2) and had statistically significant increase in IIIrd year (111.74±13.86) and IVth year (115.02±14.79). Empathy and motivation were the EI components that decreased from Ist year MBBS to IVth year. Empathy component negatively correlated with social competency component. Conclusion: Emotional Intelligence (EI) has become a crucial element to be inculcated in a competency based curriculum for all academic years. There is a need of EI training in medical curriculum.

PurposeThe study was designed to examine the predictors of information literacy self-efficacy skills (IL skills) of medical students.Design/methodology/approachThe study was quantitative in nature and was carried out by using survey research method. Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) and Information Literacy Self-Efficacy Scale for medical students (ILSES-M) were used to collect the data. Data was collected randomly from 223 out of 526 undergraduate medical students on proportionally random basis according to the number of students available in each year. PLS-SEM analysis was run with the help of SmartPLS 3.2.FindingsThe findings of the study revealed that three subconstructs for emotional intelligence (EI), that is, self-emotions appraisal, others-emotion appraisal, use of emotions, had a statistically significant positive impact (p < 0.05) on information literacy (IL) self-efficacy of the medical students. The findings further confirm that English language proficiency and frequency of attended IL instruction sessions also have a significant positive impact on IL self-efficacy of medical students.Originality/valueThe exploration of EI in relation to IL is comparatively a novel area. The study observed the influence of EI level on IL self-efficacy of medical students. The study will be a significant contribution to the IL literature. The results may help the information professionals/librarians, particularly those who are engaged in teaching and designing IL programs.
