Abstract

Background: It is essential to recognize the influential factors in academic achievement to prevent academic failure. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between self-esteem and academic self-concept in medical students. Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 126 medical students (residents, interns, and clerkships) at Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan, Iran in 2018. Data were collected using Rosenberg self-esteem and self-concept questionnaires. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 16 using descriptive statistics (frequency distribution and central indices) and inferential statistics (Pearson’s correlation-coefficient). Results: A significant positive correlation was observed between academic self-concept and self-esteem (r = 0.351; P < 0.001), and the higher score of academic self-concept in the medical students increased their self-esteem. Conclusions: According to the results, self-esteem and academic self-concept were significantly correlated. Therefore, universities and professors must pay attention to students' self-concept and self-esteem, improve their positive attitude toward themselves, and prevent negative attitudes.

医学生自尊与学业自我概念的相关性研究

背景：必须认识到影响学业成绩的因素，以防止学业失败。本研究旨在探讨医学生自尊与学业自我概念的相关性。方法：这项描述性分析横断面研究于2018年对伊朗卡山Shahid Beheshti医院的126名医学生（住院医师、实习生和书记员）进行。使用Rosenberg自尊和自我概念问卷收集数据。数据分析在SPSS 16版中使用描述性统计（频率分布和中心指数）和推断统计（皮尔逊相关系数）进行。结果：医学生学业自我概念与自尊呈显著正相关（r=0.351；P<0.001），学业自我概念得分越高，自尊越高。结论：自尊与学业自我概念存在显著相关。因此，大学和教授必须关注学生的自我概念和自尊，提高他们对自己的积极态度，防止消极态度。
