Introduction: emotional intelligence is of great importance in the field of health sciences and especially in students. Not having emotional skills make possible the appearance of behavioral problems, in interpersonal relationships, in the subjective well-being, in academic performance as well as in the manifestation of disruptive behaviors.
Objective: to determine the reliability and validity of the construct concerning the brief version of the Emotional Abilities Inventory in young medical students in Pinar del Rio province during 2019.
Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in medical students from Pinar del Rio University of Medical Sciences during 2019. The target group comprised 1846 students. A stratified sampling was used, including a sample of 480 students from the sixth-academic year of medicine major.
Results: the questionnaire has a multidimensional-factorial structure, made up of five factors with relative independence and coincidence with the components established by theory. A Cronbach's Alpha of 0,89 was obtained, which shows high reliability.
Conclusions: the brief version of Emotional Abilities Inventory presented adequate metric qualities when validated in the Cuban context, proving to be reliable and with a bi-factorial multidimensional-factorial structure in correspondence with the one proposed by its original authors, although structural peculiarities are observed, which requires attention for the future improvement of the instrument.
