|
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing self-esteem among girls with precocious puberty.
Method: A cross-sectional descriptive survey design was used, with a convenience sample of 146 girls with precocious puberty and 146 their mother or father. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from July through August, 2017.
Results: The item mean score for self-esteem in girls with precocious puberty was 2.56 (±0.26). Stepwise multiple regression showed that friend support (β=.51, p<.001), family support (β=.19, p=.015) and the recognition of intimacy with mother (β=.18, p=.005) were factors influencing self-esteem among girls with precocious puberty.
Conclusion: To promote the self-esteem of girls with precocious puberty, it is necessary to plan an intervention strategy that includes support for the girls as well as support for their friends and parents.
