Abstract

The objective of this research was to analyze emotional intelligence in patients with a diagnosis of HIV from the Ips Vidamedical of the city of Cúcuta; The population was fluctuating considering a range of 180 to 220 patients, where the probabilistic sample consisted of 60 patients distributed in 39 men and 21 women to whom the Trait-Meta Mood Scale (TMMS) questionnaire was applied, which assesses meta-knowledge of emotional skills through 24 items that focus on the skills with which we can be aware of our own emotions, as well as the ability to regulate them. The research is of a quantitative exploratory- descriptive type where it investigates a problem little addressed. Based on the theoretical framework that supports this research, and supported by studies previously carried out, the validity of the hypotheses built was verified thanks to the collection of information based on quantifiable data for subsequent analysis, yielding as a result that patients with diagnosis of HIV from the healthcare center, have an adequate level of emotional intelligence, consistent with the support provided by the institution. Subsequently, a psychoeducational tool was designed under the primer format that allowed to contribute to the maintenance and reinforcement of emotional intelligence in the patients of the institution that provides psychosocial support, betting on the improvement of their quality of life.
