Abstract:

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and occupational stress among rehabilitation staffs in Tehran&rsquo;s training hospitals . Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 169 staff members selected from a total of 300 rehabilitation staffs working in Tehran&rsquo;s training hospitals, recruited by random cluster sampling. Two questionnaires were used: The emotional intelligence questionnaire designed by Petrides and Furnham and HSE occupational stress questionnaire. Data obtained from this study were analyzed using Pearson&rsquo;s correlation and multiple regression tests. Results: An inverse significant relationship existed between occupational stress and emotional intelligence (P<0.001, r=-0.33). There are, also, significant relationships between subscales of emotional intelligence including self-awareness (P=0.031, r=-0.18), social skills (P<0.001, r=-0.302), empathy (P=0.006, r=-0.238) and occupational stress. The results of multiple regressions indicated that the two subscales of &lsquo;understanding other&rsquo;s emotions&rsquo; and &lsquo;social skills&rsquo; can be used for predicting occupational stress. Discussion: This study confirmed the relationship between emotional intelligence and occupational stress. Promotion of emotional intelligence through implementing training courses may lower rehabilitation staffs occupational stress or prevent it.
