Path Analysis on the Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Social Alienation in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Objective To explore the path analysis on the impact of emotional intelligence on social alienation in peri-toneal dialysis patients,and to provide a theoretical basis for alleviating social alienation in these patients.Methods The convenience sampling method was used to select 192 peritoneal dialysis patients in a tertiary A hospital in Zhengzhou from December 2022 to March 2023 as the study subjects.Questionnaires were administered using the emotional intelli-gence scale,self-acceptance questionnaire,perceived social support scale and general alienation scale.The mediation model was constructed and tested.Results The social alienation score of peritoneal dialysis patients was(42.01±3.15).Emotional intelligence was negatively correlated with social alienation(r=-0.616,P<0.001).Self-acceptance and perceived social support played a fully mediating role between emotional intelligence and social alienation in peritoneal dialysis patients(β=-0.666,β=-0.716,P<0.05).Conclusions The social alienation of peritoneal dialysis patients is at a high level,and emotional intelligence can influence the social alienation of peritoneal dialysis patients through self-acceptance and perceived social support.Therefore,healthcare professionals should pay attention to the emotional intelligence of peritoneal dialysis patients,and effectively intervene in the self-acceptance and perceived social support in order to reduce the social alienation of the patients.
