ABSTRACT
This research paper investigates the correlation between emotional intelligence (EI) and the quality of life (QoL) among working male individuals diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). As CKD poses significant challenges to both physical and psychological well-being, understanding the role of emotional intelligence in shaping the quality of life of working male CKD patients becomes imperative. A correlational research design was employed, using The Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS), developed by Hyde, Pethe, and Dhar (2002), to assess the emotional intelligence levels of CKD patients across ten dimensions and the Quality-of-Life Scale (QLS), developed by Dubey and Dwivedi (2009) to evaluate various aspects of quality of life, including physical, mental, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being, as well as personal functioning and general limitations. The study finds significant associations between EI and QOL among working male CKD patients, with self-awareness, self-motivation, emotional stability, and altruistic behavior positively correlating with higher QOL scores. However, empathy, managing relations, integrity, self-development, value orientation, and commitment show no significant correlations with QOL in this population. These findings contribute to understanding the complex interaction between emotional intelligence and quality of life in CKD patients, potentially informing targeted interventions to enhance their overall well-being.
