Abstract
The self-esteem of two populations 65 years of age or older was examined, based on their respective living environments. Group A consisted of 18 subjects and represented a population living in private homes and receiving professional home nursing care. Group B consisted of 30 subjects and represented a population living in a residential facility and receiving professional nursing care. Rosenberg's Scale of Self-Esteem was administered to the 48 subjects, and average scores for each population were obtained. A two-tailed independent t test showed no significant differences in self-esteem of the two populations. Further analysis of individual items on the scale yielded a significant difference between the two groups for two items which required the subjects to compare themselves with others in their environment.
