Abstract

Nursing students with high levels of self‐esteem and a strong ego‐identity maintain a level of self‐integrity that enables them to participate successfully in shared group values and interests while simultaneously meeting their own needs. Self‐esteem and ego‐identity are associated with academic achievement, major (area of study) satisfaction, and life satisfaction in undergraduate students. This study evaluated a brief group program for Korean nursing students that focused on promoting positive self‐esteem and ego‐identity development. Twenty‐three Korean nursing school students participated. Changes in the students' ego‐identity and self‐esteem were quantitatively examined. Scores for ego‐identity and self‐esteem increased significantly for the students who participated in the group, while scores in the control group remained the same. The program is judged as an effective method for nursing educators or college mental health providers to utilize in order to promote affirmative ego‐identity and self‐esteem in nursing students. Additionally, the program contributes to helping students achieve developmental goals during their college life.
