University education consists of presentation and group discussion while nursing profession involve dealing with lot of people which require nursing students to have good self-esteem and communication skills to survive in university life and in future nursing profession. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the self-esteem and communication skills among undergraduate nursing students in UiTM Selangor, Puncak Alam Campus. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 187 undergraduate nursing students from all semesters which were selected using purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study were Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and Personal Report of Communication Apprehension (PRCA- 24) to evaluate self-esteem and communication skills. Results: Nursing students had moderate level of self-esteem and communication skills with mean scores of M=17.0, SD=3.0 and M=70.2, SD=4.0 respectively. However, (18.7%) had low level of self-esteem and (12.7%) had low communication skills. Upper second-class students were observed to have the highest communication skills scores compared to First class and Lower second class students. Besides, a poor positive correlation was observed between self-esteem and semesters. Conclusion: As a conclusion, nursing students have moderate self-esteem and communication skill but interventions still need to be considered as some students do have low self-esteem and communication skills.
