ABSTRACT
The study aims to find out the association between socio-economic status (SES) of the family and emotional competence (EC) of secondary school students by taking the construct as a whole and in terms of of its component factors. The cross- sectional study collected data from a stratified random sample of 866 students from the secondary schools of Ernakulam and Thrissur districts (Kerala, India), representing the population of adolescents in the age range 13-15, studying in the secondary classes (Std. VIII to X) of schools affiliated to the Board of Public Examinations, Govt. of Kerala. Data were collected by administering the Emotional Competence Scale for Secondary School Pupils (Rekha & Salim Kumar, 2015) and the Socio-Economic Status Scale (Usha & Vijayan, 2014). Chi-square test of association was employed to analyse the data inferentially. The result revealed the presence of significant association between SES of the family and emotional competence in total and two of the constituent factors of EC, viz., self-awareness and relationship management
ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Se presentan los resultados de una revisión bibliográfica realizada desde mayo a julio de 2021; como parte de la investigación relativa a la formación de la competencia regulación emocional en estudiantes de Estomatología al iniciar la práctica clínica. Para el desarrollo de este trabajo se emplearon métodos del nivel teórico tales como el histórico-lógico, análisis-síntesis y la inducción-deducción con el objetivo de argumentar, desde un enfoque de Ciencia Tecnología y Sociedad, la importancia de la formación de la competencia regulación emocional en estudiantes de Estomatología al iniciar la práctica clínica. Los principales resultados radican en que la sociedad necesita que los egresados de Estomatología tengan habilidades científico-técnicas referidas a su perfil profesional, pero también demanda de un experto que ofrezca confianza. A través de la competencia regulación emocional, los estudiantes tienen la capacidad de reaccionar de forma adecuada a sus emociones personales y a aquellas experimentadas por los pacientes por ello se concluye que los procesos de educación y formación deben tener presente el desarrollo de las competencias emocionales integrándolas en lo curricular.
ABSTRACT The results of a bibliographic review carried out from May to July 2021 are presented; as part of the research related to the formation of emotional regulation competence in Dentistry students at the beginning of clinical practice. To carry out this work, theoretical methods such as historical-logical, analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction were used, with the aim of explaining, from a Science, Technology and Society approach, the need for the formation of this competence in care performance. The main results are that society needs dentistry graduates to have scientific-technical skills in accordance with their professional profile, but also, demands an expert who offers confidence. Through the emotional regulation competence, students have the ability to react appropriately to their personal emotions and those experienced by patients. It is concluded that the education and training processes must take into account the development of emotional competencies by integrating them into the curriculum.
ABSTRACT
The goal of this study was to examine whether a subject's emotional competence correlates to attachment styles and parenting styles in children and their parents. The study was conducted with fifty children (9-11 years old) and their parents, both of whose emotional competence (EKF) and parenting style (PAQ) were measured. The attachment styles of parents and children were measured with the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) and the Bochumer Bindungstest (BoBiTe), respectively. The findings provide initial support to the assumption that attachment is related to emotional competence in parents. This relationship, however, was not significantly correlated in children. In addition, authoritative parenting and permissive parenting were significantly associated with emotional competence in parents. Emotional competence in children showed to be associated with an authoritative parenting style.

A competência emocional, um indicador de desenvolvimento positivo na adolescência, constitui um fator explicativo do sucesso académico. Contudo, importa ainda investigar relações entre a competência emocional e variáveis processuais do sucesso académico, incluindo o envolvimento na escola. Este estudo analisa se a competência emocional constitui um recurso pessoal para o envolvimento na escola na adolescência, controlados efeitos do sexo e ano escolar. O Questionário de Competência Emocional e a Escala Quadridimensional de Envolvimento dos Alunos na Escola foram respondidos por 303 adolescentes de ambos os sexos (Midade = 16.36), que frequentavam o ensino secundário. Resultados da regressão linear hierárquica múltipla sugerem que a competência emocional explica 34% da variância do envolvimento na escola. Discutem-se implicações para investigação e intervenção psicológica.
Emotional competence, an indicator of positive development in adolescence, is an explicative factor of academic success. However, research addressing relations among emotional competence and procedural variables of academic success, such as engagement in school, is still needed. This study examines whether emotional competence constitutes a personal resource for adolescents' engagement in school, having controlled the effects for gender and school level. The Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire and the Four-Dimensional Scale of Students' Engagement in School were completed by 303 adolescents of both genders (Mage = 16.36) attending high school. Results from a hierarchical multiple linear regression model suggested that emotional competence explains 34% of the variance of engagement in school. Implications for research and psychological intervention are discussed.
La competencia emocional, un indicador de desarrollo positivo en la adolescencia, es un factor explicativo del éxito académico. Sin embargo, todavía es importante investigar relaciones entre competencia emocional y las variables de procedimiento del éxito académico, incluida la participación escolar. Este estudio examina si la competencia emocional es un recurso personal para la participación escolar de adolescentes, controlados efectos del sexo y año escolar. El Cuestionario de Competencia Emocional y la Escala de cuatro dimensiones de Participación de los Alumnos en la Escuela fueron respondidos por 303 adolescentes de ambos sexos (Medad = 16,36) que asistían a la escuela secundaria. Resultados de la regresión linear jerárquica múltiple sugieren que la competencia emocional explica el 34% de varianza de la participación escolar. Se discuten implicaciones para la investigación y la intervención psicológica.
ABSTRACT
O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a competência emocional autopercebida de professores do ensino fundamental e sua relação com o tempo de prática docente e satisfação com o trabalho. Também foram avaliados o nível de formação acadêmica, a carga horária semanal de trabalho, o número de alunos e as diferenças entre docentes homens e mulheres quanto à percepção da competência emocional e à satisfação com o trabalho. Trata-se de uma pesquisa com delineamento transversal, correlacional e comparativo, da qual participaram 53 professores que lecionavam em escolas públicas da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, os quais responderam ao Questionário de Dados Sociodemográficos e Laborais, Inventário de Competências Emocionais e Questionário de Satisfação no Trabalho. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva (médias, porcentagens) e inferencial (Correlação de Pearson, Teste t), que indicaram que os participantes com mais tempo de docência e maior carga horária semanal de trabalho possuíam maior satisfação intrínseca no trabalho. Além disso, a maior satisfação com o ambiente físico de trabalho esteve relacionada a maiores níveis de regulação de emoções de baixa potência em si, expressividade emocional, percepção de emoções, regulação de emoções de alta potência em si e fator geral de competências emocionais. Os professores homens também apresentaram maior regulação de emoções de baixa potência em si. Acredita-se que os resultados encontrados possam servir de subsídio para fundamentar intervenções com vistas à promoção de bem-estar e ao desenvolvimento da competência emocional docente como um meio de suscitar melhorias no ambiente escolar.
The present study aimed to investigate the emotional competence self-perception of elementary school teachers and their relationship with time of teaching practice and satisfaction with work. The level of academic training, the weekly workload, the number of students and the differences between male and female teachers, as well as the perception of emotional competence and satisfaction with work were also evaluated. It´s a research with cross-sectional, correlational and comparative design, with the participation of 53 teachers who works in public schools in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, which replied to the questionnaire of sociodemographic and employment data, Emotional Skills Inventory and job satisfaction survey. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics (averages, percentages) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation, t Test), which indicated that the participants with more teaching time and increased workload weekly have higher job satisfaction intrinsic at work. In addition, the greatest satisfaction with the physical work environment is related to higher levels of regulation of low power emotions in themselves, emotional expressiveness, perception of emotions, regulation of high power emotions in themselves, and general factor of emotional competences. Male teachers also exhibit greater regulation of low-power emotions in themselves. It´s believed that the found results could serve as a subsidy to support interventions with a view to promoting well-being and development of teacher emotional competence as a means of fostering improvements in the school environment.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Signed since 1990, school inclusion has brought challenges to the teaching practice not only due to the demands of teaching-learning, but also of the relation with the included student. Therefore, the present study aimed to characterize teachers about emotional competence and coping styles, as well as evaluate the quality of the included student-teacher relationship and the association between these variables. An analytical, quantitative and cross-sectional, observational study was carried out, involving 63 teachers from schools that attend students with deficits in the performance of mental/intellectual functions in São Leopoldo-RS. They responded to the Sociodemographic and Labor Questionnaire, the Inventory of Emotional Competencies, the Brief Scale COPE and the Teacher-Student Relationship Scale. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyzes (Pearson's correlation and Multiple Linear Regression) revealed that although teachers have emotional skills and adaptive coping strategies, the conflict factor was highlighted in the evaluation of the teacher-student relationship, with self-blame, positive reinterpretation and humor being the strategies that best explain it. Thus, the importance of investing in training actions in the area of inclusion is confirmed, since the demands involved in this work tend to overwhelm teachers, reflecting on the quality of their relationship with the included student.
Resumo Firmada desde 1990, a inclusão escolar trouxe desafios para a prática docente não apenas devido às demandas de ensino-aprendizagem, mas também da relação com aluno incluído. Portanto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar os professores quanto a competência emocional e estilos de coping, bem como avaliar a qualidade da relação professor-aluno incluído e a associação entre essas variáveis. Realizou-se um estudo com delineamento observacional analítico, de abordagem quantitativa e corte transversal, do qual participaram 63 professores de escolas que atendem alunos com déficits no desempenho de funções mentais/intelectuais no município de São Leopoldo-RS. Eles responderam ao Questionário Sociodemográfico e Laboral, Inventário de Competências Emocionais, Escala BriefCOPE e Escala de Relacionamento Professor-Aluno. Análises estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais (correlação de Pearson e Regressão Linear Múltipla) revelaram que embora os professores apresentem competências emocionas e estratégias de coping adaptativas, o fator conflito se destacou na avaliação da relação professor-aluno, sendo a autoculpabilização, reinterpretação positiva e humor as estratégias que melhor o explicam. Confirma-se, assim, a importância de investir em ações de formação na área da inclusão, pois as demandas envolvidas neste trabalho costumam sobrecarregar os professores, refletindo sobre a qualidade de sua relação com o aluno incluído.
Resumen Desde 1990, la inclusión escolar ha traído desafíos para la práctica docente debido a las demandas de enseñanza-aprendizaje y relación con el alumno incluido. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar a los profesores en términos de competencia emocional y estilos de enfrentamiento, así como evaluar la calidad de la relación profesor-alumno incluida y la asociación entre esas variables. Con el diseño analítico-observacional, abordaje cuantitativo y transversal, participaron del estudio 63 profesores de escuelas que atienden a alumnos con déficit en el desempeño de funciones mentales / intelectuales en el municipio de São Leopoldo-RS. En el caso de las mujeres, se observó un aumento de la mortalidad infantil. El análisis estadístico descriptivo e inferencial (correlación de Pearson y Regresión Lineal Múltiple) reveló que, aunque los profesores tenían habilidades y estrategias de enfrentamiento adaptativo emocionantes, factor de conflicto destacado en la evaluación de la relación profesor-alumno, siendo la auto-culpa, reinterpretación positivo y humor las estrategias que mejor explican. Esto confirma la importancia de invertir en acciones de formación en el área de la inclusión, ya que las demandas involucradas en este trabajo tienden a sobrecargar a los profesores, reflejando en la calidad de su relación con el alumno incluido.
ABSTRACT
Resumen En las últimas décadas ha aumentado el número de publicaciones sobre programas de entrenamiento socioemocional y se consideran como factores protectores que facilitan la adaptación de la persona al contexto y favorecen un mejor afrontamiento ante diferentes situaciones de la vida, así como ante situaciones de estrés. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue realizar una revisión sistemática de programas de entrenamiento socioemocional realizados en niños y adolescentes con el fin de seleccionar los más apropiados. El proceso de búsqueda se efectuó a partir de las bases de datos: PsycInfo, MedLine, ERIC, Red de Revistas Científicas de América Latina y El Caribe, Scielo, PUBMED, con palabras claves en inglés y español. Los resultados muestran que, de los 19 artículos que fueron seleccionados por cumplir con los criterios, se identificaron 17 programas de entrenamiento, la mayoría realizados en España y en el período 2011-2015. Los objetivos fueron, en mayor medida, destinados a entrenar la inteligencia emocional, seguido por los entrenamientos mixtos y en menor medida los destinados a entrenar las habilidades sociales. Se identificaron las técnicas empleadas en estos programas, la duración promedio de las intervenciones, la modalidad de aplicación, los administradores y los destinatarios. Por último, del total de los estudios analizados, la mayoría evidencia efectividad del entrenamiento para algunas de las variables analizadas. La evidencia presentada puede ser de utilidad para investigadores y profesionales del área de la salud y la educación que trabajen con niños y adolescentes.
Abstract: In recent decades the number of publications on social-emotional training programs has increased, achieving consideration as protective factors that facilitate the adaptation of the individual to their context and allow better coping with different life situations, as well as of stressful situations. The objective of the present study was to perform a systematic review of social-emotional training programs in children and adolescents in order to select the most appropriate ones. The search process was carried out in the following databases: PsycInfo, MedLine, ERIC, Red de Revistas Científicas de América Latina y el Caribe, Scielo, PUBMED, with key words in English and Spanish and certain inclusion criteria. The results showed that of the 19 articles that were selected because they met the criteria, 17 training programs were identified, most of them carried out in Spain during the 2011-2015 period. The objectives of these training programs were to a greater extent, adapted to emotional intelligence, followed to a lesser extent by mixed training. The techniques used in these programs were identified, together with the duration of the interventions, the mode of application, the administrators and the recipients. Finally, of the total studies analyzed, most evidenced the effectiveness of training for some of the variables analyzed. The evidence presented may be useful for researchers and professionals in the area of health and education who work with children and adolescents.

Em muitos nichos culturais, pais preocupam-se, sobremaneira, com as competências cognitivas dos filhos, e é relevante sensibilizá-los para a importância da competência emocional no desenvolvimento. Crenças e metas parentais relacionadas ao papel das emoções na vida dos filhos forjam os processos de socialização da emoção. Este estudo examinou a compreensão emocional em crianças e sua relação com crenças maternas sobre competência emocional. Participaram deste estudo 25 crianças e suas mães. Foi realizada uma entrevista com as mães e aplicadas duas tarefas às crianças. As crianças obtiveram um melhor desempenho nas tarefas de reconhecimento de expressões faciais de emoções. Nas entrevistas, a categoria de capacidades relacionadas ao convívio social foi a de maior frequência de evocações (23%) como habilidades desejadas de serem adquiridas pelos filhos, seguida das capacidades da competência emocional (21%). A autonomia surgiu também como uma capacidade almejada (17%), revelando que as mães também valorizam aspectos mais voltados para a autonomia. Espera-se que este estudo contribua para a ampliação da discussão acerca das crenças parentais e da importância das emoções para o desenvolvimento infantil.
In many cultural niches, parents are especially concerned with the cognitive skills of their children and it is relevant to sensitize them to the importance of emotional competence in development. Parental beliefs and goals related to the role of emotions in the lives of children forge the processes of socialization of emotion. This study examined emotional understanding in children and their relation to maternal beliefs about emotional competence. Twenty-five children and their mothers took part in this study. An interview was conducted with the mothers and two tasks were applied to the children. The children performed better on the tasks of recognizing facial expressions of emotions. In the interviews, the category of capacities related to social interaction was the one most often evoked (23%) as desired abilities to be acquired by the children, followed by the capacities of emotional competence (21%). Autonomy also emerged as a desired capacity (17%), revealing that mothers also value aspects more focused on autonomy. It is expected that this study will contribute to broaden the discussion about parental beliefs and the importance of emotions for child development.

ABSTRACT
Objetivo. Evaluar el impacto de un programa de competencias emocionales sobre las puntuaciones de cyberbullying en una muestra de bachilleres. Método. Se realizó un estudio cuasiexperimental, con pretest-postest y grupo control, en 82 alumnos mexicanos de bachillerato. En el pretest y el postest se aplicó el Cyberbullying Questionnaire y para la intervención se diseñó un programa de competencias emocionales. Resultados. El pretest confirmó igualdad estadística intergrupal; el postest detectó diferencias y un tamaño del efecto mediano en las puntuaciones de victimización (p = 0.003, r = 0.33 [d de Cohen = 0.7]) y justificación (p = 0.002, r = 0.35 [d de Cohen = 0.7]). La comparación entre grupos indicó diferencias y un tamaño del efecto mediano: en el grupo control aumentó la victimización (p = 0.014, r = 0.27 [d de Cohen = 0.6]) y en el experimental disminuyó (p = 0.046, r = 0.22 [d de Cohen = 0.5]). Conclusión. El programa produjo un impacto positivo, significativo y un tamaño del efecto mediano sobre los puntajes de cyberbullying en alumnos de bachillerato y mostró eficacia en la prevención e intervención.
Objective. To assess the impact of an emotional competence program on cyberbullying scores in high school students. Method. The study conducted was quasi-experimental, with a pretest-posttest and a control group and was applied to 82 Mexican high school students; the CBQ was applied in pretest and posttest, a Likert scale with factors of victimization, perpetration and justification about the realization of cyberbullying; the intervention was an emotional competence program. The data analysis was performed with SPSS using non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann-Whitney U) and calculating the effect size with r of Rosenthal. Results. The pretest confirmed initial statistical equality; the posttest detected significant differences (p < 0.05) and medium effect size on victimization (p = 0.003, r = 0.33 [Cohen's d = 0.7]), and justification (p = 0.002, r = 0.35 [Cohen's d = 0.7]); the intragroup comparison indicated differences (p < 0.05) between both groups and a medium effect size; the control showed increase in victimization, (p = 0.014, r = 0.27 [Cohen's d = 0.6]), and the experimental showed decreased victimization (p = 0.046, r = 0.22 [Cohen's d = 0.5]). Conclusion. The emotional competence program produced a significant, positive impact and a medium effect size on the cyberbullying scores in high school students and showed efficacy in the prevention.

ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT In the reading, we explore specific scenarios that set the context for the emotional experience, named paradigmatic scenarios. In this essay, the authors highlight the contributions of children's literature reading in their social and emotional development through a process called mediated reading. In this process, the adult reader operates as a mediator of emotional experience of "fictional" characters in the narrative, the story and those real processes that characterize children's context and life experience. This theoretical study ends by discussing the scope of children's literature reading process mediation as a tool that contributes school inclusion, and allows interaction between cognitive and affective aspects in formal education.
RESUMO Na leitura, exploram-se cenários específicos que estabelecem o contexto para a experiência emocional, os quais são chamados cenários paradigmádicos. Neste trabalho, os autores destacam as contribuições da leitura de literatura infantil para o desenvolvimento socioemocional da criança, por meio do processo denominado leitura mediada. Nesse processo, o leitor adulto media a experiência emocional de personagens fictícios da narrativa, a história e os processos reais que caracterizam o contexto e a experiência de vida da criança. Conclui-se este estudo teórico com a discussão do alcance do processo de mediação na leitura de literatura infantil como uma ferramenta que contribui para a inclusão escolar e permite a interação de aspectos cognitivos e afetivos na educação formal.
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCCIÓN: Existe evidencia de relación entre factores emocionales y el consumo de drogas. Sin embargo, al menos la competencia emocional y el compartimiento social de las emociones en usuarios de cocaína no han sido estudiados con anterioridad, en parte debido a la reciente generación de las herramientas para su medición. OBJETIVO: Evaluar las características psicométricas de la Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto (EAT), el Cuestionario de Competencias Emocionales (CEMO), y el Cuestionario de Creencias sobre los efectos de Compartimiento Social de Emociones (CCSE) en pacientes mexicanos usuarios de cocaína, así como establecer su relación con variables socio-demográficas y clínicas. MÉTODO: Los instrumentos fueron completados junto con las Escalas de Afectividad Positiva (AP) y Negativa (AN) en dos ocasiones por 158 pacientes usuarios de cocaína. RESULTADOS: Las tres escalas mostraron coeficientes alpha superiores a .70. La EAT y el CEMO presentaron alta estabilidad temporal a quince días. La AN se asoció positivamente con la EAT y negativamente con el CEMO. La AP se correlacionó negativamente con la EAT y positivamente con el CEMO y el CCSE. El 50.9% de los pacientes presentaron una dificultad relevante en la identificación y la expresión de sus emociones, que se relacionó de forma negativa con la escolaridad. DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIÓN: Se sugiere necesaria la sistematización de la evaluación y el tratamiento de las dificultades en la expresión emocional de usuarios de cocaína. Las versiones en español de las escalas evaluadas en este estudio resultaron válidas y confiables para su uso clínico y de investigación en pacientes mexicanos usuarios de cocaína.
INTRODUCTION: Current evidence suggests a relationship between emotional factors and drugs consumption, although at least both emotional competence and social magazine of emotions have not been studied in cocaine users, in part due to the recent generation of tools for their measure. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS), Emotional Competence Questionnaire (ECQ), and the Questionnaire about Beliefs in the effects of the Social Magazine of Emotions (QSME) in Mexican cocaine users, and to establish its relationship with socio-demographic and clinical variables. METHOD: All instruments, as well as the Positive Affectivity (PA) and Negative Affectivity (NA) Scales, were completed twice by 158 cocaine users. RESULTS: All scales showed alpha coefficients greater than .70. The TAS and ECQ presented high temporal stability. NA was positively associated with TAS, and negatively with ESQ. PA showed a negative correlation with TAS, and a positive relation with ECQ and QSME. 50.9% of the patients had a relevant difficulty in identifying and expressing their emotions, which was negatively correlated with schooling. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: A systematic evaluation and treatment of difficulties in the expression of emotions in cocaine users seems to be necessary. The Spanish versions of the scales are valid and reliable for their use with clinical and research purposes in Mexican cocaine users.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To develop reliable tools for measuring communication skills in schizophrenia, the present study proposed the concept of communication intelligence, consisting of conversational competence, emotional competence, and empathic competence, and explored its neurobiological underpinnings using regional gray matter volume with healthy people. METHODS: Communicative intelligence scores were obtained from 126 healthy young participants. Correlation analyses between regional volume distributions and communication intelligence subcomponents were conducted using voxel-based morphometry of structural MRI. RESULTS: The significant positive correlations between the regional gray matter volumes with conversational competence were found mainly at the ventromedial frontal gyrus while the negative correlations between the bilateral middle frontal gyrus. With emotional competence, the volume of right superior temporal gyrus was positively and that of bilateral insula was negatively correlated. With empathic competence, the volume of the left middle frontal gyrus was positively and that of the insula was negatively correlated. CONCLUSION: Each of the subcomponents of communicative intelligence scores showed distinctive neurobiological underpinnings. The regions for the subcomponents, which constitute a common network for social cognition and emotion, are highly associated with the regions of the schizophrenia pathology. In conclusion, communicative intelligence scales have neurobiological basis to evaluate social skills of patients with schizophrenia.

Aided thresholds, children's temperament and parenting style had significant influence on social-emotional competence of hearing-impaired children (P<0.05).
ABSTRACT
Para la realización de este trabajo se tuvo en cuenta la importancia que reporta la temática inteligencia emocional, la cual ha sido abordada por otros autores tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo-transversal, con el objetivo de determinar el estado de desarrollo de las aptitudes personales y sociales en los cuadros de la Universidad de Matanzas Camilo Cienfuegos, mediante la construcción de un mapa de inteligencia emocional y el cálculo del coeficiente de inteligencia emocional general. Se comprobó que en todos los estratos considerados, el coeficiente de inteligencia emocional fue superior a 0,50, valor aceptado como razonable. Estos resultados evidencian que el estado actual del nivel de inteligencia emocional en la universidad antes mencionada, presenta brechas o áreas de oportunidad de mejora, que es preciso tomar en consideración cuando se diseñe un programa dirigido al desarrollo de la misma.
To carry out this work, we took into account the importance of the topic emotional intelligence that has been treated by other authors in Cuba and in other countries. We made a cross-sectional, transversal study, with the objective of finding out the development stage of the personal and social aptitudes in the executives of the University of Matanzas Camilo Cienfuegos, building a map of the emotional intelligence and calculating the general coefficient of emotional intelligence. We found that in all the considered stratus, the coefficient of emotional intelligence was higher than 0,50, value accepted as reasonable. These results show that the current status of the emotional intelligence level in the before mentioned university has fissures or areas of improving opportunities, that have to be considered when designing a program aimed to its development.

O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender como as competências emocionais de liderança, relacionamento intrapessoal (autoconhecimento) e relacionamento interpessoal se envolvem nas atividades de gerenciamento da assistência exercida pelos enfermeiros. Realizou-se coleta de dados com oito enfermeiros em três hospitais em uma cidade do Sul de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Os relatos foram analisados em perspectiva qualitativa à semelhança da análise do discurso. Pela análise e discussão dos resultados, concluiu-se que as competências emocionais são determinantes no gerenciamento da assistência em unidades hospitalares por meio das equipes de enfermagem e multiprofissional, comprovando, assim, a hipótese elaborada no início desse estudo.
This study aimed to understand how the emotional skills of leadership, empathy, self-knowledge and interpersonal relationships are involved in the activities of management of care exercised by nurses. Data were collected with eight nurses at three hospitals in a city of southern Minas Gerais, Brazil. The reports were analyzed under a qualitative perspective, similar to the Speech Analysis. For the analysis and discussion of results, it was concluded that the emotional skills are crucial in managing care in hospitals for nursing and multidisciplinary teams, showing thus the hypothesis produced at the beginning of this study.
