Mediating effect of emotional intelligence on career decision-making self-efficacy and future work self-salience of undergraduate nursing students
Objective To understand the current status of emotional intelligence,career decision-making self-efficacy,and future work self-salience among undergraduate nursing students,and to analyze the relationship between the three.Methods From October to December 2022,a convenience sampling method was used to select 311 undergraduate nursing students from a university in Sichuan Province as the survey subjects.The general information questionnaire,emotional intelligence scale,future work self-salience scale,and career decision-making self-efficacy scale were used to investigate the nursing students,and the data were analyzed.Results The total score of career decision-making self-efficacy,emotional intelligence,and future work self-salience for undergraduate nursing students were(128.17±24.48),(125.17±10.62)and(17.78±3.26)points,respectively.Career decision-making self-efficacy and emotional intelligence were positively correlated with future work self-salience(r=0.435,0.401,both P＜0.01),while career decision-making self-efficacy was positively correlated with emotional intelligence(r=0.468,P＜0.01).Emotional intelligence partially mediated the relationship between career decision-making self-efficacy and future work self-salience among undergraduate nursing students,accounting for 31.54％of the total effect.Conclusion Career decision-making self-efficacy can directly influence nursing students'future work self-salience,and can also indirectly influence future work self-salience through the mediating effect of emotional intelligence.Undergraduate nursing schools can improve their career decision-making self-efficacy and emotional intelligence level by increasing career planning guidance,group counseling,and organizing social practice,thereby enhancing their future work self-salience.
