This study aimed assess the effect of SBAR communication training program on baccalaureate-nursing students’ self- confidence in shift reporting. This study was conducted at Nursing Faculty, Zagazig University. A quasi-experimental design was used for this study. Subjects and methods: a simple random sample of 81 students from the above-mentioned setting. For this study; two tools were used; SBAR Knowledge Acquisition Quiz (SBRAKAQ) and Self-Reported Anxiety and Confidence Scales (SRACS). Results showed that there was highly statistically improvement in nursing students’ SBAR communication mean score, self-reported confidence and self-reported level of preparedness during shift reporting after training program implementation where P- value<0.01. Moreover, the mean score of nursing students’ self- reported anxiety during shift reporting decreased after training program implementation (p-value< 0.01). Conclusion: SBAR communication was significantly correlated with improving nursing students’ self-confidence in shift reporting. Recommendation: Healthcare facilities and educational institutions should adopt the use of the SBAR and provide continuous instructions for the SBAR tool throughout the curriculum includes specific applications at each student’s level.
