ISBN 978-989-35409-3-0978-989-35409-3-0http://hdl.handle.net/10198/30653To analyze the relationship between the sociodemographic characteristics of nursing students, the dimensions of the Emotional Competence (EC) profile and the overall ec. Methods: a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study was developed, from the application of the Emotional Competence Veiga Scale (ECVS), to a sample of 103 nursing students at an institution in the northeast of portugal. mostly female (n=82; 79.6%), and in the marital status of single (n=96; 93.2%) and between 19 and 23 years old (n=79; 76.6%). the data were subjected to statistical analysis using the statistical package for the social sciences®. Results: It appears that the sample is in the 4th year of the degree (n=55; 53.4%); 3rd year of degree (n= 35; 34%) and 2nd year of degree (n=13; 12.6%). The average household consists of three members, including the respondent himself. Regarding the weekly workload, it appears that only 17 individuals are working students (16.5%) and that, on average, they work 25.6 hours/week. The analysis of these sociodemographic variables and the dimensions of the EC and the global EC allows to verify that there is no correlation between them.engSocial demographic variablesEmotional competenceNursing studentsconference object
