Abstract: (218 Views)
Background and purpose: Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to perceive, express, recognize, use, and manage emotions in oneself and others. Academic performance is a multidimensional activity and is considered very important in career paths, personal lives, and long-term success. This study aims to investigate the relationship between academic achievement and emotional intelligence among dental students of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 dental students of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences in 2024. The Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire was used to assess the level of emotional intelligence. Students' average marks were used as an indicator of academic performance. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 23 and the t-test.
Results: The findings revealed that the average emotional intelligence score was higher for male students compared to female students, though this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.134). The mean emotional intelligence score for married individuals was higher than for single individuals, but this difference was also not significant (P=0.751). The mean emotional intelligence score of students who were interested in their major was 19.95 points higher than that of those who were not interested in their major (P=0.009).
Conclusion: The findings of the current study emphasize the importance of creating a supportive educational environment that promotes emotional growth alongside academic achievement. By recognizing the value of emotional intelligence in healthcare education, institutions can better prepare future professionals for the challenges they will face in their careers.
