The study sample consisted of 64 first year nursing students in Phetchaburi Rajabhat University. The research tool was the meditation program, which tested to ensure content validity by a panel of five experts before their implementation. Emotional Intelligence Assessment2 was used to collect data at three time points: pre-test, post-test, and at one-month follow up. The reliability of the questionnaires was confirmed with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients at .89. Data were analyzed using Repeated Measure Analysis of Variance and Bonferroni’s statistic.
The findings of the study revealed that the study sample’s mean post- test scores of emotional quotient obtained immediately after the experiment and at one-month follow up were statistically significantly higher than the mean pre-test score (p <.05).
