Low self-esteem is a negative feeling towards oneself that can be caused by trauma or long-lasting negative self-evaluation; a lack of positive support and repeated abusive experiences can exacerbate low self-esteem, which is a negative emotion towards oneself that can be caused by trauma or prolonged unfavorable self-assessment. The aim of this case study is to provide nursing care for patients with schizophrenia who have ongoing issues with low self-esteem. The nursing process approach, which starts with assessment, nursing diagnosis, nursing intervention, implementation, and evaluation, is used in the case study technique employed to prepare this research.
From the assessment conducted by the writer, evaluation findings revealed that the patient felt embarrassed to socialize and felt inferior because of a fear of being considered strange. According to the evaluation, a diagnosis of persistent low self-esteem was made, with no theoretical gaps. Over four days, nursing implementation was carried out, starting with techniques 1 to 3 and evaluation. This was beneficial for nursing in enhancing the patient's self-esteem and the patient's confidence in the nurse. With evidence of actions such as talking to friends, washing the face, and performing the task of tidying the bed, all done independently without assistance, evaluation findings were obtained according to the established criteria. The nursing care provided over these 4 days yielded an evaluation result that the patient was able to improve their self-esteem and became a more productive and confident individual than before.
