Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of our study was to clarify the process of improving emotional intelligence for psychiatric ward nurses who care for emotionally-distressed adolescents through their participation in 3 learning sessions, which included the viewing of originally-developed videos and group discussions. Our subjects were 7 nurses working in a child and adolescent psychiatric ward who consented to and participated in our study program of three 90-minute sessions with two-week intervals. Three of the 7 subjects showed improvement in all 3 sub-scales of emotional intelligence. Two subjects showed improvement in “intrapersonal EQ” or “situational EQ”; however, the remaining 2 subjects showed a decline in emotional intelligence scores.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

グループアプローチの手法をもとに、平成30年に作成した精神および発達に障がいをもつ児と関わる看護師の体験をテーマとした4編の教育教材（ＤＶＤ）「子どもに拒まれる」「子どもにハグを求められる」「子どもにアゲアシをとられる」「子どもとぶつかる」を看護師が視聴し、グループ・ディスカッションを実践することは、子どもと関わる支援者の情動知性の育成に部分的に効果があった。また、感情体験のすり合わせは、グループ療法的な効果が期待できると考えた。可視化しにくい情動知性の育成のプロセスを児童・思春期ケアに携わる全ての人に活用可能な方略の１つになりうると言える。
