| Abstract | Self-esteem is one of the most important psychological determinants. This study aimed to determine the level of self-esteem and its association with academic achievement among students of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences (KUMS). This cross-sectional study was carried out among 300 students in KUMS in 2016. The sample population was selected using probability proportional-to-size method in all faculties. Participants filled out a self-reporting questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 with t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation statistical tests at 95% significant level. We found that MD students had higher self-esteem (P < 0.017). There was a significant relationship between mother’s education level and self-esteem (P < 0.001). In addition, self-esteem was significantly correlated with academic achievement (r = 0.292). From our results, it appears that planning psychological interventions to increase levels of self-esteem may be useful in promoting academic achievement. | en |
