Abstract
Background: Our aim is to (dis)prove the association of emotional intellegence (EI) and/or Self- efficacy (SE) with specialties’ ’preference (SP) among sample of medical and nursing students. Methods: A self- report questionnaire comprised of demographic data, trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire- Short Form (TEIQue-SF), the General Self- Efficacy Scale, and students SP was filled by 451 medical and nursing students at RAK MHSU and faculty of nursing ,Cairo University in 2016. Results: Both EI and SE were significantly higher among the medical than nursing students and positively correlated with each other in the whole sample . No sex or age differences for EI and SE was noticed. The variables predicted preferening surgical specialities and emergency medicine versus all other specialites among medical students in bivariate and multivariate analysis were male gender and high SE. The variables which predict preferening Medical/ Surgical and Pediatric nursing versus all other nursing specialites among the nursing students were older age and high SE. Emotional intellegence did not show any positive association with SP. Conclusion and Recommendations: EI and SE were positively correlated. SE is related with SP whereas EI did not. Improving both EI and SE among health professional undergraduates is recommended for many reason.
