SOC in the 2014 cohort showed a significant correlation with quality of life.
The 2024 cohort exhibited the highest total EI compared to previous cohorts.
Gradients of EI with adaptation indicators were observed in multiple cohorts.
Variance in SOC from 2015-2018 limited the ability to identify associations.
Different cohorts displayed distinct patterns of correlation between SOC, EI, and adaptation indicators.
Clinical Implications
The findings indicate the importance of understanding the relationship between emotional competencies and student adaptation.
Conclusion
The study highlights the relationship between SOC and EI across different cohorts of medical students.
