Abstract

This chapter examines the integration of emotional intelligence (EI) into geriatric nursing education within higher education, highlighting its crucial role in enhancing student learning outcomes, patient care, and the well-being of older adults. It explores how EI fosters essential interpersonal skills, empathy, and resilience among nursing students, improving their ability to manage the emotional complexities of geriatric care. The chapter also discusses the ethical integration of technology, such as virtual simulations and telehealth, in teaching geriatric nursing, emphasising that EI ensures these tools enhance rather than replace human connections. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of EI in promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and developing comprehensive care plans for older adults. Finally, the chapter advocates for faculty development programs and curriculum design that incorporate EI-focused pedagogical strategies to nurture empathy, self-awareness, and reflective practices in nursing students.
