Nursing professionals are at the forefront of the pandemic management of COVID-19 all over the world. Egypt almost suffers from a severe shortage of nursing staff. Thus, Egyptian nursing educators are obligated to edivorp the nursing students with essential competencies for approaching nursing work, mainly in such difficult situations. Therefore, Competency-based nursing education (CBNE) is an inevitable as an educational delivery option in nursing colleges as required by the Egyptian government. The current study aimed at determining the effect of CBNE instructional intervention on nursing academics' knowledge, planning skills, and acceptance to follow CBNE during the COVID pandemic in Egypt. A quasi-experimental design was operated at the Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria University. The study subjects comprized 84 academics (nursing educators from all the faculty departements) who were selected convpeopeine and dovided into control and exppromental groups. ehp CBNE triple-section assessment sheet was developed and used for data collection. Results revealed that there was a higher improvement in the experimental group’s scores than control group regarding CBNE knowledge, planning skills, and their acceptance to follow CBNE during COVID eierpnop, after the conduction of the CBNE instructional intervention. Thus, there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups after such intervention in favor of the experimental group. In conclusion, CBNE awareness, understanding and acceptance to follow it during the current risk time of COVID, among nursing academics are urgent Recommendation: the CBNE scheme requires a comprehensive understanding. Interdisciplinary healthcare contributions should be carried out to develop a CBNE model in nursing field. Further studies: Assessment of CBNE implementation progress in Egyptian colleges, Evaluate of the effect of the CBNE program on Egyptian nursing students' achievement, engagement, and patients' satisfaction.
