Background: Poor self-adjustment can lead to stress, anxiety, and discomfort, which may disrupt students’ learning processes and social lives. One factor believed to play an important role in self-adjustment is emotional intelligence. This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and self-adjustment in students at Anwarul Huda Islamic Boarding School in Jobbing. 
Methods: This study employed a quantitative method with cross-sectional analytic correlation. A sample of 96 students was drawn using simple random sampling. The Self-Adjustment Scale by Eustalia Gunavati et al. and the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire by Daniel Goleman were used for this study. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank Test to determine the relationship between emotional quotient and self-adjustment in Islamic boarding school students.
Results: The results of the study showed that most respondents had moderate emotional quotient, as many as 49 respondents (51%), and almost half had sufficient self-adjustment, as many as 47 respondents (49%), where the results of the Spearman rank test obtained a p value = 0.000 < 0.05, meaning H1 is accepted.

It is hoped that health workers will be more active in providing health education to the community, especially in the Islamic boarding school environment, not only physical health, but also mental health.
