“…Financial support or reducing the financial burden and providing study time for CE would support the nurses to continue their studies (Lamadah and Sayed, 2014;Naicker, 2006). Offering opportunities for nurses that are reachable, convenient, and relevant to the needs of the learner would produce maximum retention and motivation among the nursing professionals (Birnie et al, 2003). These CE programs should be evaluated necessarily, to determine that the CE goals are achieved and upheld or to shift the teaching learning method of CE through evidence-based practice for better outcomes (Taylor and Hall, 2017).…”

This article demonstrates, with real world examples, the holistic approach to case study research as a concise practical guide for management research students. It attempts to encapsulate the basic components of qualitative case study research in management studies, with special emphasis on how to set a philosophical framework, articulate research problems and theorise research results. These components of research are identified, classified, and arranged into seven pillars (7Ps) namely; Paradigm, Perspective, Purpose, Plot, Practice, Procedures, and Persuasion. Instead of following the typical sequential execution of a chain of tasks, it is continuously intermingled amongst processes by revising/redoing them to ensure more credible results and produce cogent arguments. This paper shows how to align the research context with philosophical issues (ontological and epistemological paradigm); articulate research problems and choose a methodology; theorise research findings using classical reasoning methods of abduction, deduction, and induction and; expand the theorisation beyond the original research problem. This framework would be useful to research students to place themselves in appropriate ontological and epistemological stances, eliminate doubts, enhance clarity and sharpen the focus towards plausible conclusions.

Continuous education is a vital factor which contributes towards the professional development in nursing and it is directly associated with the health of a country. Continuous education is essential to maintain and improve the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of nurses and provide better health care. The objective of this study was to assess the attitudes and perceived barriers towards continuous education in nursing among the front-line nurse managers in Sri Lanka. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 555 front line nurse managers in Sri Lanka using a self-administered questionnaire. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics. SPSS 25 version was used as the data analysis tool. Thirty-one special grade nursing officers and 524 grade 1 nursing officers participated in this study. The majority (73%) had more than 20 years of working experience as a nursing professional. Most of the nurse managers were diploma holders (83%), 3% undergraduates, 14% graduates, and 1% were reading for Masters. Attitudes towards continuous education were good among all the nurse managers, while 92% were willing to continue their education. The majority (96%) has perceived that continuous education is vital for professional development in nursing, and 91% has stated that the opportunities and facilities for continuous education and nursing research should be improved. The attitudes borne by the front line nurse managers towards continuous education, were considered to have been very positive. Further, continuous education was perceived by them as a vital part of professional development. Therefore, it could be surmised that the opportunities and facilities for continuous education and research on continuous nursing education should be improved in order to facilitate the provision of better health care.
