Background: In carrying out their duties, nurses require social awareness and specific abilities that include intellectual, technical, and interpersonal skills, which are reflected in caring behavior. Caring behavior is essential in nursing practice, grounded in values of kindness, attention, and respect for patients' spiritual beliefs. Some patients at Dr. M. Djamil Padang General Hospital have reported that nurses do not fully address their complaints, feelings, and feedback, and are not responsive to patient calls. Emotional intelligence is considered important because of its role in providing attentive nursing care. Methods: This study used a quantitative design with an observational analytic and cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of nurses at Dr. M. Djamil Padang General Hospital. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires measuring emotional intelligence and caring behavior. The emotional intelligence questionnaire used The Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale and the caring behavior questionnaire used the Caring Behaviors Inventory (CBI). Results: The majority of nurses (56.3%) at Dr. M. Djamil Padang General Hospital exhibited high emotional intelligence. Most nurses (95.8%) demonstrated good caring behavior. The analysis showed a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and nurses' caring behavior, but with a weak and negative correlation (r = -0.216, p = 0.019). This means that the higher the nurses' emotional intelligence, the lower the caring behavior tends to be, even though the contribution of emotional intelligence to caring behavior was only 4.7%. Conclusion: Nurses at Dr. M. Djamil Padang General Hospital are mostly between 30-40 years old, female, and Ners graduates. The nurses possess high emotional intelligence and demonstrate good caring behavior. There is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and nurses' caring behavior, but with a weak and negative correlation. This research suggests that other factors may have a more dominant influence on nurses' caring behavior at Dr. M. Djamil Padang General Hospital.

Background: Radiculopathy is one of the most common causes of neck pain in everyday clinical practice. Radiculopathy can occur in the cervical segment. The prevalence of cervical radiculopathy is lower than lumbar radiculopathy. NCS is an attempt to confirm the diagnosis of radiculopathy. This study aims to describe the NCS findings in cervical radiculopathy patients at RSUD Arifin Achmad, Riau Province. Methods: This descriptive quantitative study was conducted from January to September 2024 at RSUD Arifin Achmad, Riau Province, using total sampling. Data from NCS tests, including latency, amplitude, nerve conduction velocity (NCV), and F-wave parameters for motor and sensory nerves, were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Result: The majority of the results were ≥40 years old (69.2%), female (61.5%), and predominance of one extremity testing in cervical radiculopathy (60%). NCS of cervical radiculopathy motor, n.medianus latency was elongated (5.13 ± 2.22 ms), amplitude was normal (4.42 ± 3.03 mV), and KHS was decreased (46.50 ± 11.79 m/s). The n.ulnaris latency lengthened (4.49 ± 5.53 ms), amplitude shortened (5.02 ± 2.70 mV), and KHS decreased (46.44 ± 16.51 m/s). The n.radialis latency (2.34 ± 0.98 ms), amplitude (3.25 ± 0.98 mV), and KHS (78.91 ± 27.47 m/s) were normal. Cervical radiculopathy sensory NCS, n.medianus latency was normal (2.86 ± 0.51 ms), amplitude shortened (19.37 ± 19.38 µV), and KHS decreased (43.82 ± 20.27 m/s). In n.ulnaris, latency lengthened (3.30 ± 1.78 ms), amplitude was normal (17.13 ± 13.98 µV), and KHS decreased (42.62 ± 16.63 m/s). The n.medianus (26.47 ± 2.74 ms) and ulnar (24.83 ± 1.63 ms) F-waves were normal. Conclusion: NCS findings in cervical radiculopathy patients at RSUD Arifin Achmad reveal prolonged distal latency, decreased nerve conduction velocity, and reduced amplitude, suggesting demyelination and axonal loss. These results reinforce the role of NCS as a key diagnostic tool for cervical radiculopathy. Further research is needed to evaluate its correlation with clinical severity.
