A new 6-item French scale effectively measures self-esteem in psychiatric patients. This validated tool allows for easier clinical assessment and tracking of self-esteem changes over time.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Social Psychology
  • Psychometric Validation

Background:

  • Self-esteem, a concept from social psychology, is increasingly vital in psychiatry.
  • Clinical evaluation of self-esteem is challenging due to a lack of suitable instruments.
  • A brief, one-dimensional French self-esteem scale is needed for clinical practice and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a short, one-dimensional French self-esteem scale.
  • To develop a tool for easy global assessment and follow-up of self-esteem.
  • To improve the clinical evaluation of self-esteem in psychiatric patients.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an initial 10-item scale.
  • Administered to 106 psychiatric patients (excluding psychosis).

    • Main Results:

    • A 6-item scale (ESD version) was selected based on acceptability and data distribution.
    • Exploratory factor analysis confirmed a single dimension with good reliability (TLI = 0.89).
    • High item-total correlations (>0.50) and strong internal consistency indicate construct validity.

    Conclusions:

    • The validated 6-item French scale (ESD) provides a reliable measure of self-esteem.
    • This tool facilitates accurate investigation of self-esteem in clinical and research settings.
    • Enables therapists to better monitor self-esteem for patient follow-up and treatment adjustment.
