Nursing intervention for self-esteem disturbances.
In 1988, the broad diagnosis of self-esteem disturbance was refined into three distinct problems: defensive coping, situational low self-esteem, and chronic low self-esteem. The rationale for this refinement is discussed, and distinct nursing interventions are proposed that differ by type of self-esteem problem and nursing expertise.
