Abstract

Social workers have a greater than average risk of suffering burnout syndrome. In the same way as the professionals, students too can suffer academic burnout. However, few empirical studies have studied burnout and protective factors in social work students exclusively. Emotional intelligence (EI) has been described as a protective factor for burnout both in the professional and the academic context. The present study aims to explore which components of EI predict the burnout domains in students studying a degree in social work, in Spain. To this end, 87 social work students completed a questionnaire in which information was gathered on EI, burnout, average grade in the degree, and sociodemographic variables. The regression analysis results indicate that the students with poorer academic success and from higher years reported greater symptoms of burnout. Regarding the components of EI, emotional clarity and emotional repair predict the academic efficacy perceived by the students. These results highlight the importance of including EI in academic policies to promote the design of EI training programs aimed at developing EI skills, particularly emotional clarity and emotional repair, as a way of improving the perception of efficacy in social work students.

社会工作专业学生情商的重要性及其与感知效率的关系。
社会工作者罹患职业倦怠综合症的风险高于一般人。与专业人员一样,学生也可能出现学业倦怠。然而,很少有实证研究专门研究社会工作专业学生的职业倦怠和保护因素。情商(EI)被认为是职业倦怠和学业倦怠的保护因素。本研究旨在探讨情商的哪些因素可以预测西班牙社会工作专业学生的职业倦怠。为此,87 名社会工作专业学生填写了一份调查问卷,其中收集了有关 EI、职业倦怠、学位平均成绩和社会人口变量的信息。回归分析结果表明,学业成绩较差和年级较高的学生报告的职业倦怠症状更严重。关于情感指数的组成部分,情感清晰度和情感修复可预测学生感知到的学业效率。这些结果凸显了将情商纳入学术政策的重要性,以促进设计旨在培养情商技能(尤其是情绪清晰度和情绪修复)的情商培训计划,从而提高社会工作专业学生的效能感。
