The SEIS (Schutte EI Scale) questionnaire determines the level of EI asa trait. The data was processed by statistical software SPSS 15.0. Nurses achieved adequate EI scores using both tools. SEIS providedstatistically significant differences related to the age and length of work experience (older and more experienced nurses achieved higher scores). STEU provided statistically significant differences related to the level of education (university graduates achieved higher scores). Our findings are supported by other evidence which states that the ability of dealing with emotions is a significant part of providing health and social services.
