activity. Data were collected by using Rubin' s self-esteem scale. Its reliability was 0.88. Data were analyzed
by using descriptive statistics and t-test. Results revealed that 1) After the intervention completed, self-esteem mean scores of students in the experimental group were non statistically significanthigher than those before intervention 2) Self-esteem mean scores of students in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < .05.) Therefore, field experiences through reflective thinking should be applied in other subjects in order to improve higher self-esteem of nursing studentscontinuously.
