Every day they are faced with various behaviors, demands, complaints, and patient non-compliance, as well as dealing with superiors, co-workers and Even though at the same time a nurse may be having problems with family or close people. Therefore, nurses must have emotional intelligence, in order to be able to control their emotions well so that they can work professionally and optimally (Prihandhani & Hakim, 2. According to Goleman (Yohanes, et , 2. , emotional intelligence is a person's ability to regulate their emotional life with intelligence, maintain emotional health and its expression through self-awareness skills, self-control, self-motivation, empathy and social skills (Yelvita, 2. Emotional intelligence is a person's ability to regulate their emotional life with intelligence, maintain emotional harmony and its expression through self-awareness skills, self-control, self-motivation, empathy and social skills (Safari & R, 2. The average emotional intelligence trait score for each domain is SelfAwareness . 20%). Self-Regulation . 15%), Self-Motivation . 54%), Empathy . 78%), and Social Skills . 60%), as possessed by 82% of Nurses. A survey revealed that there is poor emotional well-being among nurses in the UK, with statistics revealing that 29. 8% of nurses who participated in exhaustion (Ayodele-Awe3 et al. , 2. Based on research by Sitanggang . , the results of the emotional intelligence of nurses at RSUP H. Adam Malik showed that most nurses had fairly good emotional intelligence as many as 7% and nurses with a good category as many as The emotional intelligence of nurses who are fairly good will have confidence in their own personality, have their own enthusiasm in managing cognitive patterns and in doing a good job, especially in providing nursing Based on the results of a field survey conducted on January 16, 2024 at the Santa Elisabeth Hospital in Medan involving 10 nurses as respondents. The results showed that the level of emotional intelligence of the respondents was at a low level. This emotional intelligence can be influenced by several factors where there are internal factors . riginating from within onesel. and external factors . rom outside such as the environmen. , other factors can also be seen from age that older people may be higher in emotional intelligence, this finding shows that emotional intelligence is a developing ability, it is possible that the increasing life experience and emotional maturity will contribute to emotional intelligence (Siallagan & Ritonga, 2. Nurses component in the health system because nurses are the ones who meet patients most often and communicate directly with patients for 24 hours and 7 days a week, so that nurse performance can be measured by looking at the nurse's emotional intelligence because directly related to patients and nurses' behavior to control and be able to manage conflicts in e-ISSN : 2807-2448 com/index. php/bikes hospitals, namely by using emotional intelligence (Kharismasyah, 2. Nurses' emotional intelligence is formed because of good cooperation, which is in harmony between thoughts and feelings, if nurses are able to interact with each other well, their emotional intelligence will increase. Thus, the problem of emotional intelligence does not lie in emotions but in the harmony of emotions and how they are expressed. This is in line with Goleman's general opinion, the theory of emotional intelligence states that people with low emotional intelligence tend to be intelligence can reduce aggression (Marlina & Riyanto, 2. Changes in patient emotions and behavior can be in the form of anxiety, shock, rejection, withdrawal and anger. Nurses need to take a positive attitude in dealing with changes in the patient's emotions and behavior. One form of positive behavior is self-compassion which can help individuals, especially nurses, to continue working even though there is pressure or conflict because selfcompassion helps individuals to better understand and understand the problems that occur every day, and with selfcompassion individuals can understand every emotion that comes from their life experiences without judging and blaming themselves (Wiffida et al. , 2. Selfcompassion is important for nursing because it has a positive impact on patients, compassion and empathy help improve patient comfort and well-being through nursing care. Research by Dewi and Hidayati . states that the higher the self-compassion, the more altruistic . he nature of prioritizing other. , conversely the lower the self-compassion, the less altruistic. So as a nurse it is important to have self-compassion because nurses must have a sense of caring for themselves and their patients (Hartono et al. , 2. The results of the facts and theories that have been explained, argue that high self-compassion in nurses will help in resolving and helping nurses themselves when experiencing stress or conflict, such as nurses trying to understand more about the conditions being experienced by patients, taking a calm attitude when dealing with changes in patient emotions (Wiffida et al. , 2.

Based on Rahayu's research . also said that someone with good enough self-compassion will feel the presence of more positive emotions, such as happiness, enthusiasm and confidence. addition, it also explains that when individuals have a good level of self compassion, these individuals tend to be better able to reduce excessive reactions to difficult events that are being experienced (Rahayu & Ediati, 2. Based on the results of facts and theories from Wiffida . researchers state that high self-compassion in nurses can help them cope and provide support to themselves when facing pressure or conflict, such as trying to understand the patient's condition better and maintain calm when dealing with changes in patient emotions (Wiffida et al. , 2. in the low category. For the component of managing emotions, 10 respondents . 6%) were in the high category, 115 respondents . 1%) were in the medium category, and 7 respondents . 3%) were in the low category. The motivation component shows that 15 respondents . 4%) are in the high category, 110 respondents . 3%) are in the medium category, and 7 respondents . 3%) are in the low category.

This shows a positive thing in the context of the ability of executive nurses to manage their emotions, which is very important to provide optimal service at the Juanda Kuningan Hospital Inpatient Installation. (Aditiya Puspanegara, 2. The results of this study are also supported by Rangki & Alifariki . data obtained from 18 respondents indicated that those who had emotional intelligence in the moderate category were 10 respondents . 56%). From the results of the above research, it can be concluded that emotional intelligence requires the ability to recognize and appreciate the feelings of oneself and others, and respond to these feelings in an appropriate way. It also involves using emotional energy effectively in everyday life and work. Emotional intelligence includes three main elements: personal skills related to self-management, social skills involving the ability to handle interpersonal relationships, and social skills, namely the cleverness in triggering positive responses from others (Rangki & Alifariki, 2. The opinion conveyed by Siregar et . is in line with this, that the ability to control oneself and emotions is the foundation of success in various fields. This ability allows a person to achieve optimal performance in all fields, and individuals who have this skill tend to be more productive and effective in whatever work they do. When nurses are able to manage emotions well in handling and serving patients, including the ability to recognize and respond to patients' emotions wisely, as well as showing awareness of the understanding of the surrounding situation, and the ability to interact effectively, then the nurse's performance will improve. In the work environment, emotional intelligence means having the ability to understand one's own feelings and those of others, and handle various situations in an appropriate manner. Individuals intelligence tend to have a greater chance of success than those who only rely on experience or high intellectual intelligence (IQ) (Ahmad et al. , 2. According to research conducted by Kharismansyah et al, 2021 it is important for a nurse to pay attention to their level of emotional intelligence because their role in providing services to patients is The research shows that about 80% of a person's success is related to emotional intelligence, while about 20% is related to IQ. Therefore, a person's professionalism and performance are highly dependent on their emotional intelligence skills. If a nurse experiences stress, it can have a negative impact on the clients and families they serve. Stress experienced by nurses, especially if it reaches a breaking point, can lead to a decrease in their performance (Gurning et , 2.

Based on the results obtained in the respondents' statements that nurses at Santa Elisabeth Medan Hospital have good self compassion, they are able to love themselves well and are able to overcome themselves not to judge themselves. And nurses at Santa Elisabeth Hospital Medan also have good emotional intelligence who are able to manage or control their emotions well. From the results of the research that has been conducted by researchers, researchers argue that self compassion and nurses' emotional intelligence have a relationship because if a nurse does not have good or high self compassion, emotional intelligence is also not good because self compassion can help individuals feel the presence of more positive emotions, such as happiness, enthusiasm and confidence. Researchers argue that nurses who exhibit high levels of self-compassion are better able to cope with pressure or This allows them to better understand the patient's condition and remain calm when having to deal with the patient's emotional changes. In carrying out their duties, nurses often have to overcome various problems, and when they receive reprimands or criticism from superiors, they are able to maintain emotional stability and not get caught up in feelingsof helplessness or incompetence (Wiffida et al. , 2.

Conversely, when a person is unable to manage their emotions effectively, they tend to blame themselves excessively when facing problems. (Siswandari2. Self-compassion, which reflects an individual's ability to understand adverse events, failures, and weaknesses without excessive self-blame, has a strong positive correlation with emotional intelligence. This is in accordance with the concept of emotional intelligence which involves the ability to manage emotions, when a person does not judge themselves excessively, they tend to have good emotional control. Conversely, when someone is able to manage their emotions effectively, they tend not to blame themselves excessively when facing (Siswandari2, 2. Based on the results of previous research, reinforced by the theory that selfcompassion has a close relationship with emotional intelligence, indicating that selfcompassion is an effective strategy in managing individual emotions. The research findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between selfcompassion and emotional intelligence. Thus, low levels of self-compassion can e-ISSN : 2807-2448 com/index. php/bikes result in low emotional intelligence. Lack of self-compassion can make it difficult for nurses to regulate their emotions, tend to blame themselves when facing problems, and have difficulty adapting to difficult Conversely, having good emotional intelligence helps nurses not to be easily depressed by challenges in the work environment. They can appreciate and love themselves more when facing problems that make them stressed. (Siswandari2, 2. that have not been studied by previous BIBLIOGRAPHY
