The research instrument consisted of the readiness preparation in the communicating program, personal data, State Anxiety Inventory, Communication skill Test Questionnaire, and Stress Test Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and independent t-test.
Results: The result showed that 1) The comparative of anxiety level after intervention between the control group and experimental group found that the experimental group had significantly higher level than the control group at level .05 (t=10.632) 2) The comparative of communication abilities skills show that the experimental group had significantly higher than the control group at level .05 (t= -3.281) 3) The average of anxiety and communication abilities skills was no significant (t= -2.035)
