So it is important to improve nurses’ communication competence to effective nurses’ self-advocacy. Study aim to evaluate the effect of designed program of communication competence on nurses' self-advocacy. Research design: quasi experimental research design used. Subjects: No. = (42) staff nurses. Setting; Sohag University Hospital Tool; consists of three parts; 1) personal characteristics; 2) Communication Competence Scale; and 3) Self-Advocacy Scale. Results: mean score of total communication competencies at pre intervention (78.31±16.74), post (112.67±10.61), and follow up (106.17±9.7). Mean score of total self-advocacy at pre intervention (19.17±3.999), post (30.26±3.85), and follow up (25.81±3.4498). Conclusion; there were positive correlation between communication competence and self-advocacy with highly statistical significant difference. Recommendations: implementation of communication training program in nursing education, assess communication competency among nurses periodically, and undergraduate nursing programs should contain communication competency course.
