Background and Aim: Communication with patient is the initial stage and main core of nursing care. Patient centered communication skills require special attention. Not applying a non-pragmatic theoretical model is one of the hindering underlying factors for quality and quantity care development. This study aimed to determine the effect of Orem self- care model on nursing students’ communication performance in clinical setting. Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 66 nursing students were selected by easy-access sampling. Intervention group were trained based on Orem Self Care Model and control group based on routine nursing process method. Then the two groups cared patients over a week. Data were collected by performance evaluation checklist and nursing process record evaluation form, then analyzed with chi-square, Mann-Whitney and independent t test. Results: The mean of communication performance evaluation scores in the intervention group (88.4±10.6) was significantly higher than the control group (79.0±17.9) (P=0.014). Conclusion: As Orem self- care model showed a 12% students performance increase, it is recommended to present a course on nursing theories for undergraduate students.
