Beauty standards of a person’s ideal body shape, whether male or female and regardless of age, often result in body shaming of those who do not comply with these ideal standards. If body shaming continues for a long time, it will affect one’s self-esteem or self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between body shaming and self-esteem in students. The study used an analytic survey with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were 535 students of Nursing Health Sciences at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang, with a sample of 143 students who experienced body shaming. Data were collected through a body shaming questionnaire and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES) for self-esteem. Data were analyzed using Spearman. The results of the study showed that the group of respondents who experienced low body humiliation was 134 (93.7%), and respondents who experienced high self-esteem were 141 (98.6%). The results of the Spearman test showed a p-value of 0.000 <α 0.05 with a coefficient value of 0.460 and a correlation strength enough. Body shaming behavior can lead to depression and sometimes people will still feel happy even though they have received body shaming. This is related to the self-esteem of each individual. So, when the body humiliates someone, self-esteem will decrease and vice versa.
