ABSTRACT
 Objective: The purpose of the research was to define the self-esteem and self-sufficiency of adolescents who engage in sports. Material and Methods: The research population consists of 6496 students, attending 13 schools of Mersin Provincial Directorate of National Education in 2013-2014 academic year. The samples were selected after detecting the students engaged in sports (520) and the same number of students (520) as the comparison group by stratified random sampling method. Data was collected using "Personal Information Form", "General Self-Efficacy Scale" and "Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale". As statistical methods in data analysis; number, percentage, chi square tests were used. For comparison of the groups, independent groups t tests was used. Results: In the study, it was found that adolescents who do sports have higher self-esteem score (82.8) than non-sports (65.8) adolescents. Adolescents' Overall Self-Efficacy Score average was also found to be higher in adolescents engaged in sports (32.3) than nonsports (27.0). The proportion of boys doing sports (53.3%) is higher than girls. Conclusion: The self-esteem and self-efficacy score ave rage (SEAS) of boys and girls who do sports is higher than the self-esteem and self-efficacy score average of boys and girls who do not do sports. As seen in the research, adolescents do sports, when examined separately from all kinds of variables, have important effects on "General SelfEfficacy Scale Average Score" (GSEAS) and "Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale Average Score". Attempts should be made to ensure that the health professionals who provide primary care (doctors, nurses, psychologists, dieticians) are aware of the impact of sports on school health, and to continue sports throughout life. In order to make sports a habit during adolescence, appropriate environment should be provided in schools.

Keywords: Self- esteem; adolescence; nursing
ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu araştırmada, spor yapmanın ergenlerin benlik saygısı ve öz-yeterliliklerine etkisini incelemek amaçlanmaktadır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın evrenini 2013-2014 eğitim öğretim yılında Mersin İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü'nün 13 okulunda okuyan 6496 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Örneklem tabakalı rastgele örnekleme yöntemi ile spor yapan öğrencilerin (520) ve karşılaştırma grubuyla aynı sayıda öğrenci (520) tespit edildikten sonra seçilmiştir. Veriler "Kişisel Bilgi Formu", "Genel Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği" ve "Coopersmith Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği" kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde; sayı, yüzde, ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Grupların karşılaştırılmasında bağımsız gruplar t testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmada spor yapan ergenlerin benlik saygısı puan ortalaması (82,8) spor yapmayan (65,8) ergenlerden daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Ergenlerin genel öz yeterlilik puan ortalamasının spor yapan ergenlerde (32,3) spor yapmayanlara (27,0) göre daha yüksek olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Spor yapan erkeklerin oranı (%53,3), kızlardan daha yüksektir. Sonuç: Spor yapan erkek ve kız ergenlerin benlik saygısı ve öz yeterlilik puan ortalaması, spor yapmayan kız ve erkek ergenlerin benlik saygısı ve öz yeterlilik puan ortalamasından yüksektir. Araştırmanın bulgularında da görüldüğü gibi; ergenlerin spor yapmanın, her türlü değişkenlerden ayrı incelendiğinde benlik saygısı puan ortalaması ve genel öz yeterlilik puan ortalamasına önemli etkileri bulunmaktadır. Birinci basamak sağlık hizmeti sunan uzman kişiler (doktor, hemşire, psikolog, diyetisyen) okul sağlığında sporun etkisinin bilincinde olarak, sporu yaşam boyu sürdürmeleri için girişimlerde bulunmalıdır. Ergenlik yıllarında sporun alışkanlık haline getirmesi için okullarda uygun ortam sağlanmalıdır.
