        abstract = {Introduction: Adolescence is an intermediary phase from childhood to adulthood and it is a delicate phase of life. There are about 69.7 million adolescent girls representing about 7% of the entire world's population. Self-esteem is the third most frequently occurring theme in psychological literature. College is the time when most students are developing their sense of identity. Hence health providers must take measures to increases the level of self esteem in adolescents. So, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of nurse led intervention program on self esteem among nursing students. 
Methods: Quantitative approach and True Experimental Pre-test-post-test design (Repeated Measures Design) was used. Institutional Ethical clearance was obtained. 65 nursing students from RNSCON (Experimental group) and 65 nursing students from SIIHS (Control group) were selected using probability- multistage sampling technique. Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale was used. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.88. Pre test was done. Nurse Led intervention programme was provided in 4 sessions (Each session for 90 minutes/Week). Interventional package included ice breaking sessions, interactive sessions, delivering content using PPT, videos, self-monitoring, evaluation session and exercises. Post test was done at the end of 1st month, 3rd month and 5th month. 
Result: In the experimental group, in pre test, 30.8 %, in post test 1, 4.6 %, in post test 2 and 3, no subjects were having low self esteem. In control group, in pre test, 38.5 %, in post test 1, 9.2 %, in post test 2, 7.7% and in post test 3, 9.2% subjects were having low self esteem. There was a significant difference in self esteem score of pre test and post test 1 (p=0.001), pre test and post test 2 (p =0.001), pre test and post test 3 (p =0.001), post test 1 and post test 2 (p =0.001), post test 1 and post test 3 (p =0.001) and post test 2 and post test 3 (p =0.001) in experimental group. There was a significant difference in self esteem score of pre test and post test 1 (p= 0.001), pre test and post test 2 (p value =0 .001), pre test and post test 3 (p =0.001), post test 1 and post test 3 (p = 0.001) and post test 2 and post test 3 (p = 0.001) in control group. There was no significant difference in pre test self esteem scores between groups (t=0.748; p= 0.456). There was a significant difference in post test 1 (t =4.180; p=0.001), post test 2 (t= 10.027; p =0.001) and post test 3 (t value =9.676; p=0.001) between groups. Time effect (F = 211.840; p=0.001) and interaction effect (F = 44.802; p=0.001) was statistically significant. 
Discussion: This study concluded that self esteem score among experimental group overtime was significantly greater as compared to control group. This indicated that Nurse Led Intervention Programme was effective in developing high self esteem. This study also recommended that more interventional programmes need to be provided to improve positive self esteem in adolescents.},
