By critically analyzing the available existing knowledge, this paper aims to explore the importance of fostering emotional intelligence and implementing appropriate coping strategies to support the mental and emotional well-being of nurses. Findings from various studies also indicate the potential benefits of implementing programs and interventions aimed at enhancing emotional intelligence skills, which may ultimately improve nurses’ capacity to manage occupational stress.
