Meanwhile, based on the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, the value of Z = – 2.207 was obtained, with p<0.05, meaning that there was a difference in self-esteem scores in the experimental group between measurements before and after being given logotherapy, where the self-esteem of the experimental group after being given logotherapy (mean = 77.67) was higher than before being given logotherapy (mean = 68.83).
