This study aimed to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy of nursing students who are writing their final assignments. The subjects of this research were 74 undergraduate nursing program students who were writing their final assignments, which were determined using total sampling techniques. The method for collecting data on emotional intelligence and self-efficacy was a questionnaire on a Likert scale, 45 and 22 items respectively. The data was analyzed descriptively in the form of a frequency distribution, then hypothesis testing was carried out using the Pearson Correlation test. The research results showed that the r value was 0.612, while the p value was 0.000, meaning there was a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. Furthermore, it was concluded that the higher the emotional intelligence of nursing students, the more self-efficacy would increase.
