Abstract

Background

Nursing professionalism, which forms the foundation of high-quality patient care, is cultivated in students through comprehensive nursing education programs.

Aim

To identify the serial mediating effects of peer caring and clinical practice adaptation in the relationship between emotional intelligence and nursing professionalism.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 169 nursing students from 7 nursing schools across 6 provinces in South Korea. Participants completed an online self-reported survey. Mediating effects were analyzed using the bootstrapping method with the PROCESS macro for SPSS.

Results

Nursing students' emotional intelligence, peer caring, clinical practice adaptation, and nursing professionalism were significantly correlated. While emotional intelligence did not directly impact nursing professionalism, it positively affected peer caring and clinical practice adaptation. Both emotional intelligence and peer caring positively influenced clinical practice adaptation, which in turn improved nursing professionalism.

Conclusions

The results suggest that adopting a comprehensive approach in nursing education, integrating emotional intelligence, peer support, and clinical practice adaptation, is crucial for enhancing nursing professionalism among nursing students.
