Abstract

Purpose: This study was done to identify the predictive relationship of emotional intelligence and organizational commitment on geriatric nursing practice of nurses in long-term care hospitals. Methods: Participants were 96 nurses who were working in long-term care hospitals in D city and K province. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from August 6 to August 27, 2014. Data analysis included one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression using the IBM SPSS/WIN 20.0 program. Results: The significant predictors for geriatric nursing practice were emotional intelligence and age. These factors explained 54% of the variance. Emotional intelligence explained 47% (${\beta}=.48$, p<.001) of the variance in geriatric nursing practice. Conclusion: These results suggest that emotional intelligence improvement programs should be focused on developments to improve the quality of geriatric nursing practice.
