It is necessary to timely analyze deviation that occurred in health of health care professionals (nurses) to ensure their mental, physical and social well-being (Ikademi 2011).¹ Nursing staff constitute a crucial component of healthcare system and they give direct care to patients and spend more time with them as compared to other healthcare workers. Therefore the probability of exposure to occupational risks such as physical, biological, chemical, psychological and ergonomic threats is higher among nurses.³ Nursing considered as a uniquely hazardous occupation, makes the nurses to become increasingly involved with the curative and technical treatment of the clients.⁴ During COVID-19 pandemic as countries moved towards social distancing, isolation measures and lockdown situations to support the public health control measures advocated by the WHO, nurses could feel increasingly isolated. Their psychological well-being is just as important as their physical health. The stressed nurses need time to process the stressful work they are doing and opportunities to debrief from this extremely demanding situation.⁵ Stress among nurses related to workload, work shifts, overtime and covering for absent colleagues were the most common stressor. During COVID-19 duties nurses were not even allowed to go their homes to keep their families protected, so they had to stay in the hostels or separate arrangements. It additionally lead to more stress with highly stressful nursing environment like enclosed nursing environment, long duty time, pressure, excessive noise, sudden swings, unpleasant sites and long standing hours.⁹

Results: The findings of the study revealed that in experimental group majority 24(80%) of female nursing students in the experimental group had low self-esteem. 6 (20%) had medium self-esteem whereas no one had high self-esteem in the pre-test. And after the post-intervention 04 (33.34%) female nursing students in the experimental group had a high level of self-esteem while 10 (36.66%) had a medium level of self-esteem and 16 (53.34%) had a low level of self-esteem.
