Nursing Interventions and Rationales
·         Help client to identify environmental factors which increase risk for low self-esteem. Identification is early stage of problem solving process.

·         Encourage client to maintain highest level of functioning, including work schedule. Positive self-esteem is maintained at higher levels in working individuals than in nonworking individuals (VanDongen, 1998).
·         Encourage client to verbalize thoughts and feelings about the current situation. Allowing the client to clarify thoughts and feelings promotes self-acceptance (LeMone, 1991).
·         Help the client to identify what has helped maintain positive self-esteem thus far. Identifying what works empowers the client and encourages positive outcomes.
·         Help the client to identify the resources and social support network available to them at this time. Resourcefulness and social support are significant predictors of self-esteem (Dirksen, 2000).
·         Encourage the client to find a self-help or therapy group that focuses on self-esteem enhancement. Improved self-esteem of such group members is reported (Hakim-Larson, Mruk, 1997).
·         Encourage the client to create a sense of competence through short-term goal setting and goal achievement. Sense of competence is related to global self-esteem (Willoughby et al, 2000).
·         Educate female clients about self-esteem differences between genders, and encourage exploration. Females tend to have lower self-esteem than males no matter what domain is measured (Bolognini et al, 1996).
·         Assess the client for symptoms of depression and anxiety. Refer to specialist as needed. Prompt and effective treatment can prevent exacerbation of symptoms or safety risks.
·         Teach client a systematic problem-solving process. Crisis provides an opportunity for effective change in coping skills.

·         Help the client to identify age-related and/or developmental factors which may be affecting self-esteem. Self-esteem levels vary with the normal aging process and tend to decrease with older age (Dietz, 1996).
·         Assist the client in life review and identifying positive accomplishments. Life review is a developmental task that increases a person's sense of peace and serenity.
·         Help client to establish a peer group and structured daily activities. Social isolation and lack of structure increase a client's sense of feeling lost and worthless.
Home Care Interventions
·         Assess current environmental stresses and identify community resources. Accessing resources to help decrease environmental stress will increase the client's ability to cope.
·         Encourage family members to acknowledge and validate the client's strengths. Validation allows the client to increase self-reliance and to trust personal decisions.
