All interviews were first recorded, then transcribed. Finally, the data were analyzed using constant comparative technique through conventional content analysis.
Results: Three main themes with six subcategories were extracted. The main themes were “organizational factors”, “personal factors”, and “cultural and environmental factors”.
Conclusion: Regarding the research findings, some of the affective factors in patient education were determined through nurses’ perspectives. Therefore, it is recommended to perform careful management and organizational interventions, and provide necessary conditions for patient education.
