Abstract
AIM : To assess the mediating role of emotion regulation and emotional intelligence in
the relationship between stress and academic engagement among Saudi undergraduate
nursing students.
DESIGN : This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional
research design.
METHODS : The study recruited 367 Saudi undergraduate nursing students at a major
Saudi university. Structural equation modelling was used to explore the mediational
model.
RESULTS : The results of the ANOVA and Welch F-test
demonstrated that the emotional
intelligence, emotional regulation and academic engagement scores were statistically
significantly different according to stress levels (p-values
<0.01). Perceived stress has
a statistically significant moderate negative correlation with academic engagement
and emotional intelligence and a strong negative correlation with emotional regulation.
The results also showed that academic engagement had a statistically significant
moderate positive association with emotional intelligence and emotional regulation.
Results indicate that stress and academic engagement are negatively correlated
among Saudi undergraduate nursing students. It focuses on the balancing functions
of emotional regulation and emotional intelligence, highlighting their ability to lower
stress levels and improve academic engagement.
No Patient or Public Contribution.
