Brief Summary
|
The study investigates the relationship between Self-esteem and compulsive buying behaviour among undergraduate nursing students. A minimum sample size of 123 students will be selected using a stratified random sampling technique from GNM II and III years and from BSc Nursing First, third, and fifth semesters, through proportional allocation and computer-assisted random number generation. The data will be collected in the classroom after prior appointments with the participants, and they will receive a participation information sheet one week in advance to ensure participation voluntarily. The consent will be obtained before data collection. |
