Implication

Psychometric validation study demonstrates sound validity and reliability of a modified Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale in adults, indicating its suitability for mental health assessment.

Key Points

Translate and adapt the 10-item Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale into Nepali and assess its psychometric validity, internal consistency, and reliability in an adult population.
Translated and culturally adapted the scale using World Health Organization guidelines.
Administered the survey to 330 adults accompanying psychiatric outpatients at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Nepal.
Analyzed psychometric performance using polychoric correlations, exploratory factor analysis (principal axis factoring and parallel analysis), Cronbach's alpha, and test-retest reliability.
Exploratory factor analysis confirmed a two-factor structure with factor loadings exceeding 0.30 for all items except item 8.
Removing item 8 improved internal consistency, achieving an acceptable Cronbach's alpha of 0.711.
Item-level test-retest reliability showed moderate consistency across 70% of items, with 37% of item pairs showing polychoric correlations > 0.30.
