Abstract

Background: Self-esteem is a person's perception of their character and appreciation of their value. It represents a proper, appropriate, consistent understanding of one's worth.  Objectives: This study aims to explore self-esteem among undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional research design was selected and conducted with 100 undergraduates of nursing College at KPK. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) validated questionnaires were used to collect data. Results:  The study findings showed that 40% of students were female and 60% of pupils were male, according to the study's findings. Additionally, 61% of people reported low self-esteem, and 39% had normal levels. Conclusion: The study's findings, with 61% of participants reporting low self-esteem and 39% exhibiting normal levels, suggest a concerning prevalence of diminished self-worth among the surveyed individuals. This underscores the importance of addressing and prioritizing mental health support within undergraduate nursing education.
