Spirituality is a complex construct to define, in addition, it is scarcely evaluated in practice. Nurses present difficulties when exercising their role as caregiver in this dimension, since they are barely trained to exercise this holistic role. Emotional intelligence plays an important role between understanding personal emotions and the patient's emotions. The objective was to relate the level of spirituality and the level of emotional intelligence in a group of nursing students, for this, data collected by the SQ Spirituality Questionnaire, Chile version and the TMMS-24, which measures emotional intelligence, were used. The research is of a non-experimental, transactional correlational type, in a sample of nursing students. The type of sampling was non-probabilistic and its sampling design was for convenience. The significant sample for this research is 184 students from first to fifth level who agreed to participate through informed consent. The correlation result, Pearson's r, demonstrated a moderately low strength of association between the dimensions of spirituality and with two of the three dimensions of emotional intelligence, namely, emotional understanding and emotion regulation. It is concluded that there is a relationship between the constructs, also, by promoting training in at least one of the variables, it is contributing to the human development of nursing students, providing space for the delivery of more and better multidimensional and multicultural care to our users.
