Abstract
Background: Emotional Intelligence means a person's ability to monitor their own and
others' emotions, which guide his/her thinking and actions. It has the potential to enable
individuals for better coping with stress. Aim of the study: determine the effect of emotional
intelligence training program on stress among nurse students. Design: Quasi-experimental design.
Setting: Technical Institute of Nursing, which affiliated to faculty of nursing, Ain Shams
University. Subjects: 200 nurse students were participated in the study. Tools of data collection:
three tools were used to select data; Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, Perceived Stress
Scale, and Pre and posttest. Result: less than one fifth of study subjects had satisfactory
knowledge about emotional intelligence in preprogram phase. There is a highly statistically
significant improvement in all dimensions of emotional intelligence among nursing students
throughout program phases. Highly statistically significant improvement in stress dimensions
among nursing students throughout program phases, and there is statistically significant
correlation between emotional intelligence score and stress score among nursing students
throughout program phases Conclusion: Improving nurse students' emotional intelligence
decreased stress after implementation of training program. Recommendations: enhance nurse
students' participation in social and cultural activities, conduct training program about stress
