Comparative Study of Emotional Intelligence and Perceived Stress Among Dental Postgraduate Students

The current study confirmed the high level of stress among dental students in the Kurdistan region and the effectiveness of EI in improving it. The results of our study suggest that the incorporation of EI training in dental curricula, especially for students close to graduation, would help to improve resilience and mental health. Structured EI workshops and stress management interventions tailored to the specific needs of students may enable students to effectively manage academic and clinical stressors.
