背景：扎根理论是一个众所周知的方法，在许多研究中采用。定性和定量数据生成技术可以用于扎根理论研究。扎根理论从数据中发现或构建理论，系统地获得并使用比较分析进行分析。虽然扎根理论本质上是灵活的，但它是一种复杂的方法论。因此，新手研究者努力理解扎根理论概念和过程的话语和实际应用。目的：本文的目的是提供一个适合于扎根理论研究的当代研究框架。测试结果：本文提供了一个扎根理论的概述，通过图形表示的过程和方法进行研究，使用这种方法。该框架是作为一个研究设计的图形表示，并作为一个直观的指导新手扎根理论研究人员。讨论内容：由于扎根理论不是一个线性过程，该框架说明了基本扎根理论方法与所涉及的迭代和比较行动之间的相互作用。本文定义了支撑扎根理论的每一个基本方法和过程。结论：而不是从事哲学讨论或辩论的不同流派，可用于扎根理论，本文说明了如何研究研究设计的框架可以用来指导和通知新手护士研究人员进行研究使用扎根理论。研究结果和建议可有助于政策或知识的发展、服务的提供，并可改革思维，在实质性调查领域发起变革。
Background: Grounded theory is a well-known methodology employed in many research studies. Qualitative and quantitative data generation techniques can be used in a grounded theory study. Grounded theory sets out to discover or construct theory from data, systematically obtained and analysed using comparative analysis. While grounded theory is inherently flexible, it is a complex methodology. Thus, novice researchers strive to understand the discourse and the practical application of grounded theory concepts and processes. Objective: The aim of this article is to provide a contemporary research framework suitable to inform a grounded theory study. Result: This article provides an overview of grounded theory illustrated through a graphic representation of the processes and methods employed in conducting research using this methodology. The framework is presented as a diagrammatic representation of a research design and acts as a visual guide for the novice grounded theory researcher. Discussion: As grounded theory is not a linear process, the framework illustrates the interplay between the essential grounded theory methods and iterative and comparative actions involved. Each of the essential methods and processes that underpin grounded theory are defined in this article. Conclusion: Rather than an engagement in philosophical discussion or a debate of the different genres that can be used in grounded theory, this article illustrates how a framework for a research study design can be used to guide and inform the novice nurse researcher undertaking a study using grounded theory. Research findings and recommendations can contribute to policy or knowledge development, service provision and can reform thinking to initiate change in the substantive area of inquiry.
