Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing self-esteem among girls with precocious puberty. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive survey design was used, with a convenience sample of 146 girls with precocious puberty and 146 their mother or father. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from July through August, 2017. Results: The item mean score for self-esteem in girls with precocious puberty was 2.56 (${\pm}0.26$). Stepwise multiple regression showed that friend support (${\beta}=.51$, p<.001), family support (${\beta}=.19$, p=.015) and the recognition of intimacy with mother (${\beta}=.18$, p=.005) were factors influencing self-esteem among girls with precocious puberty. Conclusion: To promote the self-esteem of girls with precocious puberty, it is necessary to plan an intervention strategy that includes support for the girls as well as support for their friends and parents.
