Abstract
Background: emotional Intelligence in the clinical practice of intensive care nurses has an impact on their ability to regulate their own emotional responses and the critically ill. Objective: understand the relationship between emotional intelligence and the impact on the performance of intensive care nurses, through an integrative literature review. Methodology: an integrative literature review was conducted in the first half of 2022, in the databases: Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed, where a survey of national and international scientific productions was carried out, published in the period 2018-2022, on the chosen topic. Results: the integrative review included the analysis of 3 articles selected from an initial pool of 52 identified. The proper management of the emotions of nurses and patients to whom they provide care has a positive impact on the care provided. Nurses' unrealistic optimism and high levels of frustration often lead to burnout conditions, with a significant negative impact on critical patient care. Emotional intelligence and mindfulness hold a protective role of burnout in nurses. Conclusion: emotional intelligence and mindfulness can improve the individual well-being of nurses and staff in intensive care units.
