Abstract
The hospital environment is characterized by high levels of stress and intense work demands, along with constant exposure to emotionally demanding situations such as serious illnesses and patient deaths. However, despite the implications of emotional demands as a psychosocial risk factor for healthcare personnel, emotional education interventions aimed at this staff are not popular in the reviewed literature. This article proposes an emotional education program (EEP) to address the emotional demands of healthcare personnel in the care area of a high-complexity pediatric hospital. The proposed EEP is based on the theory of emotional competencies and mindfulness, and methodologically uses a quasiexperimental design with pretest and posttest measures. As a result, it was found that the program had a positive impact on the emotional competencies of the participants, specifically in the competency related to emotional awareness. This study confirms the importance of emotional awareness as the basis for the development of emotional competencies, while paving the way for the generation of emotional education programs in the healthcare sector.
