Resumo(s)
Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the capacity to recognize and regulate emotions,
both in oneself and in interactions with others, emphasizing self-awareness and subsequently
social awareness, with an emphasis on responsibility, empathy, and compassion [1].
Emotional competence becomes particularly salient within the healthcare context, a field
encompassing the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of the human being. EI plays
a central role in the overall well-being and performance of healthcare professionals, directly
influencing the quality of care delivered. Salovey & Mayer [2] pioneered the concept of EI as
the ability to monitor and regulate emotions to guide thoughts and actions. This competency
is widely acknowledged as essential for effective communication, clinical decision-making,
and the promotion of well-being for both patients and professionals [3-5]. It also serves as a
protective factor against burnout [6,7]. Clinical communication models incorporate emotional
competencies [8] highlight EI’s role in mediating interactions among professionals, patients,
and families in end-of-life care.
