Description
Summary:Objectives: This study was carried out to determine the relationship between social intelligence, self-esteem and resilience in healthcare professionals and the affecting factors. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. It was conducted at the Siirt Public Hospital between June 3 and September 15, 2017 with 241 healthcare professionals who agreed to participate in the study. The data were collected using a personal information form, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) and the short version of the Resilience Scale (RS-14). The data were analyzed using SPSS Windows 22.0. Results: The mean total scores obtained by the healthcare professionals were 74.2 +/- 11.4 on the TSIS, 21.2 +/- 4.18 on the RSES, and 19.5 +/- 5.0 on the RS-14. A positive statistically significant relationship was found between results on the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the short version of the Resilience Scale, and the Tromso Social Intelligence scale and social intelligence subscales (p<0.001). Additionally, social intelligence was determined to be a factor predicting self-esteem and resilience. The self-esteem, social intelligence and resilience of the healthcare professionals who were good at self-expression were statistically significant and high (p<0.05). Conclusion: The healthcare professionals had sufficient self-esteem and good levels of social intelligence and resilience, and self-esteem, resilience, and social intelligence were correlated. It can be suggested from these results that higher self-esteem, social intelligence and resilience levels in healthcare professionals would help them cope with stress and burnout.
