Is Self-Worth the same as Self-Actualization?

I think Self-Worth is one of mankind's deepest needs and for many, (or perhaps all) is a lifelong journey. As life moves on we begin to realize more and more exactly what our Self-Worth is.

Now, I am not a psychology expert, but could Self-Worth be equated with Self-Actualization as Abraham Maslow's Heiarchy of Needs?

Explanations beyond "Yes" or "No" or Rebuttals are much appreciated.

Self-Worth could also be a state of exsistance as well.

The former is an attitude, the latter a state of existence. They are not the same.
