Abstract
Purpose: This study investigated the mediation effect of emotional intelligence in the relationship between adult attachment and resilience among nursing college students in Korea. Methods: This study was 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades, excluding 1st-year students; a total of 137 students who were randomly sampled responded to the questionnaire at a university in Gyeonggi-do. For data analyzing, t-test, Pearson correlation, and regression (Baron and Kenny''s proposed three-step approach model analysis method) were used. Results: The correlation analysis of each factor showed that both attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance showed a statistically significant negative correlation with resilience. Both attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance were statistically significant positive correlations with emotional intelligence. In addition, emotional intelligence was found to have a statistically positive correlation with resilience. Regression analysis on the mediating effect of emotional intelligence on the relationship between adult attachment and resilience showed that the effect was statistically significant. Conclusion: To increase the resilience of student nurses, managers must develop resilience programs and management training: adult attachment, emotional intelligence, aptitude. In addition, it will be necessary to develop a program to improve emotional utilization and emotional control ability in emotional intelligence with a relatively low average score.
