Resumen
The aim of the current study was to investigate the relation between coping strategies and self-
esteem, as well as to determine the existence of differences in coping strategies based on experience,
and self-esteem based on social status among nurses in hospital institutions. The study employed a
descriptive approach with a sample of 55 nurses selected using simple random sampling method.
Two scales were utilized:-Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) Coping Strategies Scale-Rosenberg's (1965)
Self-Esteem Scale The study found the following results:-There was a statistically significant positive
correlation between coping strategies (confrontation and taking control, problem-solving, positive re-
evaluation, self-control) and self-esteem among nurses in the Bougara Abdelkader Hospital in the city
of Afflu. Conversely, there was a statistically significant negative correlation between coping
strategies (distancing, self-blame, seeking social support, avoidance and escape) and self-esteem.-
There were statistically significant differences in coping strategies (confrontation and taking control,
problem-solving, distancing) in favor of more experienced nurses. However, there were no
statistically significant differences in coping strategies (self-blame, seeking social support, avoidance
and escape, positive re-evaluation, self-control) among nurses in the hospital institution based on
experience.-There were significant differences in self-esteem among nurses in the hospital institution
based on marital status, favoring married individuals.
