Abstract: (793 Views)
Aims: Self-esteem is among the most critical factors influencing psychosocial stress, rooted in family relationships, academic achievement, body image, social interaction, and self-worth. The significance of these factors varies based on individual differences and personal growth. Considering the importance of self-esteem and feelings of social and emotional loneliness, particularly among women in the post-COVID-19 era, we conducted this study.
Materials & Methods: The population of this study included all women aged 20-50 years in Gonabad city, Iran, in the post-COVID-19 period of 2021. A total of 384 women participated in the study. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Adult Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale (SELSA-S) were used to measure self-esteem and feelings of loneliness, respectively. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 21).
Findings: The results revealed a significant negative correlation between self-esteem levels and the degree of social and emotional loneliness (p<0.001). Moreover, a significant correlation was found between a history of COVID-19 infection and self-esteem levels (p=0.003). However, no significant correlation was found between a history of COVID-19 infection and the degree of social and emotional loneliness (p=0.46).
Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, the higher the level of self-esteem, the lower the level of social and emotional loneliness.
