Background: Active learning strategies (ALS) focusing on the development of emotional intelligence (EI) support the growth of interpersonal and emotional competencies in nursing. These competencies are central to the development of resilience and formation of professional nursing identity.
Problem: Despite the recognized importance of EI, traditional nursing education often prioritizes technical skills and clinical knowledge, with limited focus on the intentional development of emotional and interpersonal competencies.
Approach: This article explores the integration of reflection, emotionally focused simulations, and communication-based exercises into a BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) curriculum. Incorporating Goleman's EI model and Kolb's experiential learning cycle in the implementation of ALS is a novel approach to developing EI competencies in undergraduate nursing students.
Outcomes: These learning methods can help students strengthen their emotional awareness, communication skills, and self-regulation. They offer practical tools to support professional identity, resilience, and the delivery of person-centered care.
Conclusion: Embedding EI into nursing education through active learning fosters competencies essential for delivering compassionate, safe, and effective care. This model is adaptable across diverse learning environments.
