This research study aims to 1) investigate the relationship between the ability to provide structured care, emotional intelligence, and work environment, 2) study the relationship between emotional intelligence and work environment with the ability to provide structured care among professional nurses and 3) investigate the factors that can jointly predict the ability to provide structured care among professional nurses in the Chaturathit hospital.

And the CVI values are .97, .93 and .95 respectively.The data analysis will be conducted using descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and multiple regression analysis. The findings of this research will provide useful information for the development of nursing staff's supervision ability and work environment in the Chaturathit Hospital. The intelligence of emotions and working environment (average score = 4.01, 4.10 and 3.97 respectively) have a positive correlation with the ability of nursing staff to provide comprehensive care at Chaturathit Hospital. This correlation is statistically significant (p < .05) with correlation coefficients of .777 and .773 respectively. The factors that can predict the ability of nursing staff to provide comprehensive care at Chaturathit Hospital are intelligence of emotions and working environment (p < .05) with a prediction power of 68.50% (R2 = .685) This research is a guide in evaluating the performance of professional nurses in a controlled environment.
