Nurse educators of either gender with at least one year of experience who were able to speak Urdu and English and had a minimum qualification of bachelor's degree in nursing were Included. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews using an interview guide. Braun and Clark 6-step method was used for analysis. Of the 26 nurse educators, 13(50%) each were males and females. Three main themes were developed; concept of qualitative research, challenges in qualitative research, and suggestions to promote qualitative research. Participants reported that conducting qualitative research was a challenging task that needed resourses and collaboration. Qualitative research is a complex process which requires commitment, support and skills at individual and organisational levels.
