BACKGROUND/AIMS: Emotional intelligence (EI) and codependency (CD) are concepts which affect nurses’ personal well-being and the care
provided by them. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotional well-being and academic performance in nursing
students in Turkey
MATERIAL and METHODS: This study was of a longitudinal, descriptive design on nursing students in Turkey. The participants were a cohort of
138 student nurses who had commenced their training in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ankara University.
RESULTS: It was found that average EI scores decreased over the 4-year study program and average CD scores increased throughout the nursing
education. It was also observed that there was a relationship between EI and CD; and also there was a relationship between EI and academic
grades. These findings revealed areas for improvement in the current nursing education in order for the student nurses to become more healthy
and effective nurses.
CONCLUSION: Nursing education programs should be reviewed and new strategies should be planned for the well-being of the students. For
beneficial patient outcomes, the EI and the CD of the students should be determined and improved and outcomes of nursing education should
be measured.
