Significance of Spiritual (SI) and Emotional Intelligence (EI) on the Caring Behavior of Nurses

Nurses play a pivotal role in providing quality healthcare to patients. Their caring behavior contributes significantly to the satisfaction, wellbeing of patients, and performance of healthcare organizations [2]. Poor quality of care exhibited by the nurses can have a telling effect on the sustainability of healthcare organizations [3]. Therefore, it is imperative that nurses with right characteristics (high levels of spiritual and emotional intelligence) are educated, recruited, and trained to provide patient-centered passionate care. The current research argues that a study at the dimension level is as important as the study at the construct level to understand the complete effects of the constructs and its dimensions. This study differs from other studies as it attempts to answer a fundamental question: What are the dimensions of SI and EI that influence the dimensions of caring behavior of nurses?
