To develop and evaluate a synchronous online training program on emotional intelligence (EI) for the caregivers of adult patients with cognitive-behavioral impairment due to ABI. Quasi-experimental study. Ten caregivers attended a one-month virtual synchronous course about EI. The emotional status of the caregivers was registered one-month-previous and one-month-post program using comparative measures: The Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Caregiver Burden Interview, the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Emotional Health Survey. After the training course, the favorable changes related to emotional affect measured with the PANAS questionnaire were found; both positive (increase; Mdn = 39.5; effect size -12.79; adjusted variance 95.75) and negative (decrease; Mdn = 14.5; effect size 0.73; adjusted variance 95.50) presented a statistical significance of p After this training in EI, the caregivers had a more positive mood and improved aspects of their emotional intelligence, such as emotional regulation. More studies need to be conducted.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/brain injurycognitive impairmentemotional intelligenceAdultHumansCaregiversEmotional IntelligenceSurveys and QuestionnairesBrain InjuriesCognitive Dysfunctionresearch article36360930open access10.3390/ijerph1921140501660-4601PMC9655065https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/21/14050/pdf?version=1666950463https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9655065/pdf
