“…Additionally, low, moderate, and high levels of self-esteem are indicated by scores lower than 15, 15-25, and higher than 25, respectively. The Cronbach's alpha for the original scale was measured as 74% [22,23] (Additional file 1). In a study by Rajabi et al, the internal consistency coefficient of the Persian version of the scale was calculated as 84% for the entire sample of students, 87% for the male students, and 80% for the female students.…”

Background: The imprisoned women usually have low self-esteem and suffer from various physical and mental complaints; they may suffer from feelings of emptiness, isolation, and depression. Transactional analysis (TA) is part of a comprehensive system attributed to the individual and social psychiatry for personal development of selfesteem among the imprisoned women. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of TA grouptraining on the self-esteem of imprisoned women. Methods: This clinical trial was conducted among the imprisoned women in a prison in Southeastern Iran using pretest-posttest design. In this regard, 76 women were randomly allocated to the intervention (n = 35) and control (n = 41) groups. The TA group-training program was held for eight 90-min sessions for the intervention group. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Rosenberg's self-esteem scale (RSES). Later, all participants were evaluated before and 1 month after the intervention. Results:In pre-test, the mean scores of self-esteem were 11.8 ± 4.67 and 7.97 ± 4.52 for the intervention and control groups, respectively. These scores showed low levels of self-esteem and the difference between the two groups was significant (p = 0.001, t = − 3.61). In the post-test, the mean scores of self-esteem improved to the moderate level (22 ± 2.52) in the intervention group compared to the control group (8.92 ± 4.04). This indicates the significant improvement of self-esteem in the intervention group (p = 0.001, t = 17.15). Conclusions:The results showed that TA group-training had a significant effect on self-esteem. Therefore, the experienced and expert counselors and psychologists are recommended to hold transactional analysis grouptraining courses to enhance self-esteem among women prisoners.

“…Apart from being protective against depression, perceived social support has been found to have a protective relationship with other factors that are relevant to psychosocial and mental well-being of PLWHA, some of which include: improved quality of life, coping styles, reduced risk for sexually transmitted infections/HIV transmission in females, psychological well-being [6], disclosure of HIV status [6,12,28,30,31]. These factors, were not investigated in this study but are worthy of mention because of the vital role they play in the mental health of PLWHA.…”

The chronicity of HIV infection predisposes the infected to mental health problems such as depression that demand a need for social support. The perception of social support is key to its beneficial effects. This study aimed to assess the level of perceived social support and its association with depression among patients infected with HIV in a hospital in Jos, Nigeria. In a cross-sectional study, 386 participants selected by systematic random sampling were interviewed to obtain their sociodemographic information, and they were assessed for perceived social support and depression using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and the PHQ-9 Questionnaire respectively. Data was analysed using Epi info version 7. Half the proportion of participants (50.5%) had a moderate level of perceived social support, while 39.9% and 9.6% had low and high levels of perceived social support respectively. Female gender, age ≥ 45 years, absence of a history of being affiliated with a HIV support group, low educational status, low income, unemployment and shorter duration of known HIV diagnosis were negatively associated with lower levels of perceived social support. The prevalence of depression was 32.6%, and lower levels of perceived social support were significantly associated with depression. The results suggest gaps in the social support needs of the participants. This highlights a need for interventions aimed at improving the perception of social support among people living with HIV. Further studies are needed to identify those unmet needs so as to device strategies to address them in order to close the gaps in perception and enhance mental health in HIV care.

“…Por último, los jóvenes con mayor autoestima confirman haber tenido más frecuencia de parejas sexuales, contrariamente a lo obtenido por autores como Enejoh et al (2016). Y también se encuentra una tendencia a realizar más prácticas sexuales de riesgo con parejas estables y a tener menos intención de realizar conductas sexuales seguras con parejas esporádicas, algo contrario también a lo encontrado por Klein et al (2010), Ramiro et al (2013) o Sylvester et al (2014. Puede que características de las personas con alta autoestima, como la cordialidad, la extraversión, la sociabilidad o las emociones positivas, puedan explicar la relación encontrada en la muestra de jóvenes evaluados.…”

“…Una parte de los estudios sugiere que una baja autoestima se asocia con relaciones sexuales precoces, mayor número de parejas sexuales, dificultades para la asertividad sexual y mayor frecuencia de prácticas sexuales de riesgo (Enejoh, Pharr, Mavegam, Olutola, Karick y Ezeanolue, 2016;Ethier, Kershaw, Lewis, Milan, Niccolai y Ickovics, 2006;Klein, Elifson y Sterk, 2010;Ramiro, Teva, Bermúdez y Buela-Casal, 2013;Sylvester, 2014). Otra parte de los estudios demuestran que tener una alta autoestima puede influir negativa o positivamente en la salud sexual.…”

RESUMENLa autoestima influye en el desarrollo de la sexualidad y de las relaciones interpersonales de los jóvenes. Con el objetivo de examinar los efectos de la autoestima en la prevención del VIH, se evaluaron a 467 jóvenes de la Comunidad Valenciana (M edad = 20,62; DT = 2,14). Se utilizó la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg y el Cuestionario de Prevención del Sida de Ballester et al. (2007). Los resultados muestran relaciones positivas estadísticamente significativas de la autoestima con autoeficacia en el uso del preservativo (p=.000), competencia percibida (p=.041) o número de parejas sexuales (p=.001). Por el contrario, se encuentran relaciones negativas estadísticamente significativas con solidaridad hacia las personas que viven con VIH (p=.013), barreras percibidas para utilizar el preservativo (p=.030), intención de usar el preservativo con parejas esporádicas (p=.043) y uso del preservativo con pareja estable (p=.021). Resulta necesario atender a la autoestima para diseñar intervenciones psicológicas eficaces para la prevención del VIH.Palabras clave: autoestima, jóvenes, prevención VIH, intervenciones psicológicas.
