    Intimate partner violence against women is a public health problem that generates psychological damage that affects self-esteem. Low self-esteem has repercussions in that the victim feels inferior, weak and incompetent; however, there are several factors that can affect self-esteem both positively and negatively. The general objective of this research was to describe the levels of self-esteem according to sociodemographic variables in women victims of psychological violence in intimate partner relationships who attend the Municipal Women's House Program of Cuenca in the period October 2022-February 2023. The study had a quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive approach. We worked with a population of 40 women victims of psychological violence in intimate partner relationships. The instruments applied were the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and a sociodemographic form. The results obtained indicate that 57.5% of the women victims of psychological violence who participated in the program have low levels of self-esteem. In addition, it was observed that women in middle adulthood, with primary education, single and married, living with a partner, working informally and in a low socioeconomic position also had low levels of self-esteem. Finally, the study highlighted that women who have been in the program longer have higher levels of self-esteem compared to those who have been in the program for less time. In conclusion, the study findings indicate that women who are victims of psychological violence in their intimate partner relationships tend to have low self-esteem, which appears to be a direct result of the psychological violence they have experienced as well as other contextual and personal factors.
