Abstract

Aim To analyze the Socio-emotional (SE) skills of the students in the Nursing Degree, and their relationship with their clinical practice in hospital centers. Methods Cross-sectional descriptive study of a sample of 91 nursing students. SE skills were analyzed through self-administered questionnaires, and the clinical practices through the instrument "Clinical Practices Evaluation Notebook". Findings The students obtained medium and high scores in the SE skills and in the clinical practices. Most of the SE skills had a positive and statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05) between them. A relationship was observed between SE skills with performance in clinical practices, through a multiple linear regression. Discussion It is suggested that the development of the SE skills of the nursing students within the Nursing degree curriculum has an influence on their performance during their clinical practices. Conclusion The SE skills are a potential predictor of the performance of the nursing students in clinical practices.
