Popis: Objectives: To verify the association of perception of educational environment and self-esteem of third year and fourth year students at Sahiwal Medical College. Study Design: Correlational study. Setting: Sahiwal Medical College, Sahiwal. Period: February 2019 to September 2019. Material & Methods: Convenient nonprobability sampling technique was used. All the students of third and fourth year MBBS were included. Students migrated from other medical colleges and who did not give consent were excluded. Rosenberg self-esteem scale questionnaire was used to measure self-esteem of students. Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) Scale questionnaire was used to measure student’s perception of education environments. Spearman’s rank-order correlation statistics was computed to determine association between self-esteem and perception of educational environment. Results: There were 97(49.5%) third year and 99(50.5%) fourth year students. There were 68(34.7%) male and 128(65.3%) female students. Self-esteem score was less than 15 in 36(18.4%) students while score was 15 and above in 160(81.6%) students. Mean DREEM score was 108.34±24.02. Correlation of DREEM score with Rosenberg self-esteem score was 0.306 at significance level of 0.000. Students’ perception of teaching was the lowest scored subscale (50.9%) and students’ academic self-perception was the highest scored subscale (58.21%). Conclusion: Students had high self-esteem and positive perception of educational environment. There was a positive correlation between perception of educational environment and self-esteem of students. An insight about the strengths and weakness of the educational environment was provided.
