Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between eating behavior and self-esteem of College Nursing Students. Method: Data were collected from self-administered questionnaires completed by 323 college nursing students in D city from October 6-15, 2008. Descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA and Pearson's Correlation Coefficients with the SPSS program were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean scores of EDI-2 and self-esteem scale were 47.56 (14.83) and 30.82 (3.86). Self-esteem was differentiated by age, grade, schoolwork satisfaction and self-perceived health status. A significant negative correlation between eating behavior and self-esteem was evident (r=-.121, p=.030). Conclusion: Subjects who had higher self-esteem tend to exhibit eating behaviors. There is a need to develop interventions to prevent eating disorder and promote positive self-esteem for nursing students.
