If body shaming continues for a long time, it will affect one’s self-esteem or self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between body shaming and self-esteem in students. The study used an analytic survey with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were 535 students of Nursing Health Sciences at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang, with a sample of 143 students who experienced body shaming. Data were collected through a body shaming questionnaire and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES) for self-esteem. Data were analyzed using Spearman. The results of the study showed that the group of respondents who experienced low body humiliation was 134 (93.7%), and respondents who experienced high self-esteem were 141 (98.6%). The results of the Spearman test showed a p-value of 0.000 &lt;α 0.05 with a coefficient value of 0.460 and a correlation strength enough. Body shaming behavior can lead to depression and sometimes people will still feel happy even though they have received body shaming. This is related to the self-esteem of each individual. So, when the body humiliates someone, self-esteem will decrease and vice versa.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> body shaming, self-esteem, students</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={KnE Medicine}, author={Melizza, Nur and Rahmawati, Anita and Ari Arfianto, Muhammad and Wahyu Mashfufa, Erma and Dwi Kurnia, Anggraini and Lailaltul Masruroh, Nur}, year={2023}, month={Mar.}, pages={488–499} }
