Abstract:

Methods: Participants were surveyed using the technique "Snowball". Rosenberg self-esteem scale has been used for self-esteem assessment and subsequent comparison with other variables. Results: 403 individuals have been interviewed, being, 310 male and mean ages of 24.02. Most of the population (80.9%) studied had high self-esteem, with a mean of 5.55 on Rosenberg scale. Individuals who have studied only up to primary school, unemployed, evangelicals, with previous psychotherapy, preceding psychiatric treatment, which had faced a situation of bullying in the last year and those who would like to change their orientation, have, according to this study, significantly lower self-esteem than the others. 114 people have used psychotropic drugs being, 47.58% for benzodiazepines, with great emphasis on Clonazepam (27.58%). Conclusion: Most of this population has had high self-esteem. There has been a range of means of self-esteem in certain categories of variables, however all means have corresponded to high self-esteem on Rosenberg scale. Benzodiazepines are the psychotropic drugs most often used by individuals of this study.
