Self-Esteem Status Among Medical Students: A Descriptive Study

The goal of this observational study is to assess the status of self-esteem in medical students of a medical college, focusing on different academic years, and various sociodemographic factors. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the prevalence of low, normal, and high self-esteem among medical students? How do sociodemographic factors (age, gender, nationality, scholarship status, religion, academic year, education level of parents, occupation of parents, motivation behind choosing medicine as a career) influence self-esteem in medical students? Since this is an observational study, there is no formal comparison group. Researchers will explore the variations in self-esteem levels based on sociodemographic characteristics. Participants will complete a semi-structured questionnaire providing demographic details, such as age, gender, academic year, and parental education/occupation, and answering the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.
