Head nurses' political leadership questionnaire was operated. Results: Pre program, majority of head nurses had poor knowledge levels, which improved post program to be good knowledge. Pre program, more than half of head nurses' political leadership skills as a total was low, which improved post program to be about three quarter of them had high level political leadership skills with statistical differences (p≤ 0.05) pre than post program in all political leadership knowledge and skills subscales. Conclusion: head nurses' political leadership knowledge and skills was generally poor at baseline. However, knowledge scores significantly improved and their skills positively changed after the implementing an educational political leadership program. But still minor percent of them were had low level of political leadership knowledge and skill. There are statistical significant correlation between head nurses' total knowledge on political leadership and all political leadership skills subscales pre than post program (p≤ 0.05).
