Although it does not involve substances, it shares features with other behavioral addictions such as pathological gambling. This study aimed to examine the relationships among emotional intelligence (EI), internet addiction, and psychological well-being (PWB) among university nursing students.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A descriptive correlational research design was employed with a stratified sample of 335 students from the Faculty of Nursing at Assiut University. Ethical approval was obtained from the Faculty\u2019s Ethics Committee (IRB number: 1120250980). Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Trait Meta-Mood Scale, the Internet Addiction Test, and Ryff\u2019s Psychological Well-Being Scale.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Students with higher EI scores demonstrated higher mean ranks of IA (mean rank\u2009=\u2009173.24) as well as higher mean ranks of PWB (mean rank\u2009=\u2009183.81). Correlation analyses revealed weak but statistically significant associations among the three variables (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009\u2248\u20090.15\u20130.29).

Although the associations between EI, IA, and PWB were statistically significant, the effect sizes were small, limiting their practical significance. The negative relationship between IA and PWB is consistent with prior literature, underscoring the potential adverse effects of excessive internet use on students\u2019 mental health. While integrating EI training into nursing education may be beneficial, the findings should be interpreted cautiously due to the weak correlations observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical trial number<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Not applicable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12912-025-03957-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,28]],"date-time":"2025-10-28T15:41:58Z","timestamp":1761666118000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The relationship between emotional intelligence, internet addiction, and psychological well-being among university nursing students"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4307-9068","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nadia Kasem","family":"Alaswad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-9856-5769","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shymaa Mohammed Sayed","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3075-2353","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saleh Omar","family":"Abdullah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1152-8698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanan Azouz Abd Elhay","family":"Mohamed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3065-5123","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanan Faried","family":"Maghawry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"3957_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association.
