The study generated 52 essential and 15 useful requirements, which are common in the literature and in experts’ opinions.Conclusion:The list of requirements is well embedded in the literature as well as in the national context of nursing in Kazakhstan. Therefore, the e-platform developed according to these requirements will contribute to improving the trinity of nursing education, research, and practice.
