Abstract

Obesity is an excessive accumulation of fat due to a long-term imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. Obesity is expected to continue to increase among adolescents, this is supported by changes in unhealthy lifestyles such as consuming energy-dense foods without doing physical activity. The psychological aspect of one of the physical changes during puberty is that adolescents become very concerned about the body compared to other aspects, one of which is obesity. The occurrence of physical changes from obesity in adolescents can cause adolescents to be dissatisfied with themselves and feel inferior. Adolescents who feel they are overweight tend to experience situational low self-esteem. The methodology in this paper is a case study on case management of nursing care for clients with situational low self-esteem in obese patients in Medan Sunggal District. The implementation was carried out for two days from July 20, 2023 - July 21, 2023 with the intervention of setting a low-calorie diet, increasing physical activity and increasing the client's self-esteem. The evaluation results show that the client is willing to follow a low-calorie diet, perform physical activity by exercising, and the client's self-esteem increases.
