| Sumario: | Background: The interest in and attention to emotional intelligence has increased within the healthcare profession in the last decades. Academic nursing education institutions are faced with challenging pedagogic and didactic duties and formal requirements for development. Aim: To increase understanding of emotional intelligence from a caring science perspective and didactics and, to describe how nurse educators, through their ethos, can support nursing students' cultivation process. The purpose is also to pave the way for applied and further caring science research based on an empirical knowledge base. Method: A narrative literature review. Ricoeur's phenomenological hermeneutics with an explorative-descriptive, ideographic and inductive approach. Results: Nurse educators' competence and qualifications open up for inspiration and motivational profiles. Emotional intelligence is highlighted as a counter reaction to a mechanistic and instrumental view of the human being. Conclusions: Emotional intelligence is challenging for the cultivation process of the didactics of caring.
