Abstract:
Background and Objective
Factors effective in the continuous nursing education process may motivate nurses to participate in continuous education programs, and thus, result in knowledge promotion and improvement of skills in clinical practice and improvement of patient care. However, they may also prevent the achieving of these goals. The precise recognition of these factors can result in constructive modification in continuous education programs and achieving of the goals of continuous education (improving patient care). Thus, the aim of this study was to explain the factors influencing the successful implementation of the continuous nursing education process based on the experiences of nurses.

The participants were selected using purposive sampling method. Data were collected through unstructured interviews and field notes. In addition, data analysis was conducted using content analysis.
Results
