Abstract

Emotional and psychological competencies are increasingly recognized as essential factors influencing nurses’ performance in healthcare settings. This study was conducted to examine the association between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy among staff nurses at Gunung Maria General Hospital Tomohon. A quantitative cross-sectional design was applied, involving all staff nurses using a total sampling approach. Data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. The analysis utilized the Chi-square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The findings indicate a statistically significant association between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. Nurses who demonstrated better emotional regulation and interpersonal skills were more confident in performing their professional responsibilities. These results highlight the importance of strengthening emotional competence to support nurses’ performance and confidence in clinical settings. In conclusion, emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in enhancing nurses' self-efficacy. Therefore, developing emotional intelligence through training and professional development programs is highly recommended to improve nurse performance and service quality.
