Abstract

Self-esteem refers to the overall sense of worth depending on how a person views themselves compared to their ideal self. Certain factors could influence a person’s self-esteem that would give them either a positive or negative perception on themselves. Due to the recent COVID19 pandemic, students’ mental health had been diminished, as a result of staying in isolation for two years as the education system was forced to implement distant learning through online classes. This paper aimed to study variables that might affect a student’s perceived self-esteem. It discusses about the perceived self-esteem of the Third-Year BS Medical Laboratory Science students at DLSMHSI, who experienced two years of online classes, in adjusting from online to on-site classes and its association with their demographic profile. Using a modified Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, it is statistically proven that the students’ perceived self-esteem has no significant association with their demographic profile.
