Assertiveness is an important behavior for today’s professional nurse. As nurses move away from traditional subservient roles and perceived stereotypes it increases a nurse’s needs to behave in assertive manner. Time series non-equivalent control (quasi experimental) group design was adopted to determine the effectiveness of assertiveness training module among under graduate nursing students from Punjab. Assertiveness training module was developed. Baseline assertiveness level of study participants was assessed with Rathus assertiveness scale. Assertiveness training was given for subjects in experimental group. Participants in control group were used as counterfactual with waitlist intervention. Post-test assessment of assertiveness level of both the groups was done immediately after last training session and thereafter on 15th and 30th day. Subjects in experimental and control group were found homogenous at baseline (p>0.05). Test of significance revealed significant difference of mean assertiveness score between subjects in experimental and control group (P<0.05), whereas an estimated odd ratio for the intervention group was 0.044. The study concluded that the assertiveness training module was effective in building assertive behavior among nursing students, whereas estimated odds which continued to be non-assertive are 23 times higher among non-assertive subjects who did not get the intervention as among those who do.
