Abstract :This study aims to determine the level of emotional intelligence, social intelligence, self-efficacy, and stress-coping strategies in nursing students, as well as investigate the relationship of emotional intelligence with these variables. The study design was a descriptive relational type. Data were collected from 322 students recruited from one nursing faculty and one faculty of health sciences. Nursing students’ total emotional intelligence score mean (127.73±15.33) was above average. Social intelligence, self-efficacy, and a self-confident coping style were important predictors of emotional intelligence (p<0.05). This study presented an important finding on how nursing students could improve their emotional intelligence in the vocational training process considering the factors that may be associated with emotional intelligence.Keywords : Emotional intelligence, Social intelligence, Self-efficacy, Stress-coping style, Nursing students
