Enhancing the self-esteem of selected male nursing home residents

DE Frey, TJ Kelbley, L Durham and JS James
Department of Human Services, Wright State University, Dayton, OH 45435.

This study investigated treatment procedures for enhancing the self- esteem of older adult male nursing home residents. Twenty-one subjects were assigned randomly to either a control group meeting to discuss current news events or an experimental group receiving the intervention. Self-esteem significantly increased for the experimental subjects but not before they experienced a significant decrease in feelings of self-worth. The midtreatment observation of the dependent variable was a vital factor in determining the curvilinear relationship between time and the protocol.
