Emotional intelligence and competence are the basic prerequisite for participatory nursing based on supportive interactions. Therefore, this research was carried out with the aim of determining the relationship between parent-nurse partnership and competency and emotional intelligence of nurses in pediatric departments.Materials and Methods: This study is a descriptive-analytical study of the correlation type. 100 nurses of children's wards of Shahrekord city were studied by census method. The data were collected using three standard questionnaires of emotional intelligence Wong & Low (2002), competence of nurses Liu et al. (2007) and nurse and Pediatric nurse parent partnership scale Choi and Bang. The data was analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics (Spearman's correlation coefficient) with SPSS 24 software.Results: The results of the study showed that there is a relationship between parent nurse partnership and the competency of nurses in pediatric departments (r=0.237, p=0.017) and there is a positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence and the competency of nurses (r=0.451, p=0.001). However, the relationship between the score of emotional intelligence and the score of parent-nurse partnership in pediatric departments was not significant (r=0.024, p=0.815).Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, the competence of nurses can increase the participation of parents of nurses. Therefore, planning to increase the competence of children's nurses in the formal education period and in-service can help to promote parent-nurse partnership as one of the most important indicators of family-oriented care.
