Abstract
Background: Case study research (CSR) has gained popularity across disciplines due to its ability to provide detailed insights into specific phenomena.
Aim: To explore the philosophy and methodology of CSR, drawing from notable authors who have contributed to its development.
Discussion: This article discusses the characteristics of CSR in terms of design and method in both quantitative and qualitative approaches. It examines CSR's advantages and disadvantages as a research method. It draws on two example case studies to emphasise the use of CSR for exploring complex healthcare and social care settings.
Conclusion: CSR has proven valuable in nursing research for investigating complex clinical problems, patient-care scenarios, and organisational dynamics and phenomena.
Implications for practice: CSR provides a methodological framework for nursing research that offers a unique lens for exploring multifaceted, complex issues. This ultimately improves patient care outcomes.
