The human need to get value and respect from others is called as?
Appeared in: AIIMS Raipur NO - 2019 (Shift-2)
Explanation
The need to receive value and respect from others is defined as an 'Esteem Need' according to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
This level includes the desire for self-respect, confidence, achievement, and recognition, prestige, and appreciation from others.
Esteem needs are considered higher-level psychological needs that motivate behavior after physiological, safety, and belongingness needs are met.
Satisfaction of these needs leads to feelings of self-confidence and worth, while non-satisfaction can result in feelings of inferiority and weakness.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
Option A: Safety and security needs relate to the desire for protection, stability, and order (e.g., health security, financial security). They do not focus on social recognition or respect.
Option C: Stimulation need is not a formal part of Maslow's five-stage hierarchy. It describes the need for varied sensory and intellectual experiences to prevent boredom.
Option D: Physiological needs are the most basic requirements for human survival, such as air, food, water, and sleep. They are biological needs, not psychological needs related to social standing.

Clinical Relevance
Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
Nurses use Maslow's hierarchy to prioritize patient care. A patient struggling to breathe (Physiological need) must be addressed before addressing their anxiety about a diagnosis (Safety/Esteem need).
Supporting a patient's esteem is crucial for their mental well-being and cooperation. Nurses can do this by involving patients in care decisions, addressing them respectfully, and acknowledging their efforts in recovery.
What if a patient is non-compliant with their treatment plan? A nurse should consider if an underlying need is unmet. The patient might feel a loss of control (Esteem need) or fear (Safety need), and addressing this can improve adherence.
How to Approach the Question
First, identify the keywords in the question: 'need,' 'value,' and 'respect from others.'
Recognize that these terms relate to a psychological theory of human motivation.
Recall or deduce the different levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, a common framework in nursing education.
Match the concept of 'respect from others' to the 'Esteem' level of the hierarchy.
Systematically evaluate the other options: 'Physiological' relates to survival, 'Safety' to security, and 'Stimulation' is not a primary level in this model.
Conclude that 'Esteem need' is the only option that accurately describes the need for social value and respect.
