RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between the emotional intelligence of healthcare workers in a hospital environment and their perception of the safety climate in the COVID-19 pandemic. METHOD: Cross-sectional, analytical study, carried out with 81 health workers who worked in hospitals during the pandemic, between September and November 2021. Data collection was carried out using an electronic form, which included a sociodemographic/occupational questionnaire and the Brazilian versions of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire and the Schutte Self Test. Spearman's correlation test and simple and multiple linear regression analyses were applied. RESULTS: An increase of 1 point in emotional intelligence levels resulted in an increase of 0.487 points in the perception of the safety climate. The most significant predictor of this perception was the ability to manage other people's emotions (ß=0.334; p=0.003; R2=0.168). CONCLUSION: A higher level of emotional intelligence in hospital healthcare workers was related to a greater perception of the safety climate during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the relationship between the emotional intelligence of healthcare workers in a hospital environment and their perception of the safety climate in the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Cross-sectional, analytical study, carried out with 81 health workers who worked in hospitals during the pandemic, between September and November 2021. Data collection was carried out using an electronic form, which included a sociodemographic/occupational questionnaire and the Brazilian versions of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire and the Schutte Self Test. Spearman's correlation test and simple and multiple linear regression analyses were applied. Results: An increase of 1 point in emotional intelligence levels resulted in an increase of 0.487 points in the perception of the safety climate. The most significant predictor of this perception was the ability to manage other people's emotions (β=0.334; p=0.003; R2=0.168). Conclusion: A higher level of emotional intelligence in hospital healthcare workers was related to a greater perception of the safety climate during the COVID-19 pandemic.
RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre la inteligencia emocional de los trabajadores de la salud en un ambiente hospitalario y la percepción del clima de seguridad en la pandemia de COVID-19. Método: Estudio transversal, analítico, realizado con 81 trabajadores de la salud que actuaron en hospitales durante la pandemia, entre septiembre y noviembre de 2021. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante formulario electrónico que incluyó un cuestionario sociodemográfico/ocupacional y versiones brasileñas del Safety Attitudes Questionnaire y del Schutte Self Reported Test. Se aplicó la prueba de correlación de Spearman y analices de regresión lineal simple y múltiple. Resultados: Un aumento de 1 punto en los niveles de inteligencia emocional resultó en un aumento de 0,487 puntos en los niveles de percepción del clima de seguridad. El predictor más significativo de esta percepción fue la capacidad de gestionar las emociones de los demás (β=0,334; p=0,003; R2=0,168). Conclusión: Un mayor nivel de inteligencia emocional en trabajadores de la salud en un ambiente hospitalario se relaciona con una mayor percepción del clima de seguridad en la pandemia de COVID-19.
