Background Investing in clinical education is important for adult urgent and emergency surgery and traumatology as it promotes registered nurses' competencies by providing professional development training to respond to urgent or emergency surgeries. Objective To examine registered nurses' self-assessment of the effects of virtual video simulation with an immediate debriefing approach on nursing process competencies, nursing care quality, incomplete care, and patient safety in surgical units. Methods This study used a quasi-experimental two-group pre- and post-test design. The study was conducted at two provincial hospitals in Cambodia. Participants included registered nurses employed in surgical units. The experimental group ( n = 46) completed a virtual video simulation and immediate debriefing. The control group ( n = 35) completed virtual training on the nursing process. Data were collected two months after a successful second-week follow-up using Competency of Nursing Process, Cambodian Nursing Care Quality, Care Left Undone, and Patient Safety scales. Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to evaluate the differences before and after the sessions. Generalized linear model was used to compare the differences between the two groups. Results The results showed statistically significant improvements in the experimental group on competency, nursing care quality, patient safety, and reducing care left undone after the intervention. However, the control gr...
