Different resources for different times: sense of coherence and emotional intelligence as correlates of adaptation in six cohorts of medical students
To elucidate the cross-cohort relationships among Sense of Coherence (SOC), Emotional Intelligence (EI), and measures of adaptation to medical education across six cohorts of medical students.
Approach:
Key Findings:
In the 2014 cohort, SOC demonstrated a distinct gradient with quality of life, which was not replicated in subsequent cohorts.
The total EI was highest in the 2024 cohort and exhibited gradients with adaptation indicators across multiple cohorts.
SOC variance in cohorts from 2015 to 2018 reduced statistical power to identify associations.
Interpretation:
SOC and EI exhibited distinct patterns of correlation with adaptation indicators across the six cohorts.
Limitations:
The study's cross-cohort design limits the ability to draw longitudinal conclusions.
Variability in SOC and EI across cohorts may challenge the hierarchical framework of Generalised Resistance Resources.
Conclusion:
The findings suggest a necessity to redirect mentoring programs towards enhancing emotional competencies rather than solely fostering a comprehensive sense of purpose.
