Relationship of Emotional Intelligence and academic performance in medical students (Original)
Keywords:
Emotional Intelligence; academic performance; Medicine students; University IntroducciónAbstract
The challenge of the current university is the integral formation of the students, without privileging the rational over the emotional. This in turn can be an important factor in the academic performance of the student body, since it constitutes an essential element in the approach to quality in higher education. The objective of this study was to analyze whether Emotional Intelligence influences the academic performance of first-year medical students. An analytical methodology was used and worked with a sample of 197 students who were in the first year of Medicine at the University of Medical Sciences of Granma, during the 2019-2020 academic year, 118 of them were female and 79 to the male sex. Emotional Intelligence was determined through the TMMS-24 questionnaire and academic performance was defined, taking into account the final exam marks in the three subjects that make up the Biological Bases of Medicine discipline. The Chi Square value was calculated for each dimension of Emotional Intelligence, in the case of the female sex for Attention, 36.24, for Clarity it was 25.02 and for Repair 22.84. Likewise, for the male gender, Chi Square was calculated for Attention 37.11, Clarity 27.50 and for Repair 25.52. It was possible to conclude that Emotional Intelligence, expressed in its three dimensions, was related to academic performance for a significance level of 0.05 and a confidence interval of 95%.
