According to Goleman as high as possible, IQ accounts for about 20% of the factors that determine success in life, then which 80% is filled by Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence. In previous studies, students' emotions during the pandemic were disturbed. Reviewing previous research with almost the same title, the results of students who have emotional intelligence are that their learning achievements tend to be very satisfying, namely 41 respondents (95.3%) or can be said to be very influential. However, unlike other studies, the sig p-value is 0.860 > alpha (0.05), which means there is no relationship between emotional intelligence and learning achievement. From the observed phenomena and the results of the preliminary Magelang Nursing Study Student study, it showed a relatively high GPA value of 3.32, so researchers were interested in conducting research in that place.
