近年来，一般的定性研究和扎根理论方法在医学教育研究中越来越突出。在本指南中，我们首先提供了一个关于扎根理论起源和演变的历史视角。然后，我们概述了扎根理论方法的基本原则以及进行扎根理论研究的程序，并用真实的例子说明这些要素。接下来，我们将讨论扎根理论的关键批评，这些批评将继续影响人们对该方法的理解和使用。最后，在扎根理论研究的陷阱和争议进行了检查，以提供一个平衡的观点的潜力和挑战，这种方法。本指南旨在帮助扎根理论的新研究人员以纪律严明和严格的方式进行研究，挑战有经验的研究人员反思他们的假设，并为医学教育研究的读者提供批判性评估扎根理论研究质量的方法。
Qualitative research in general and the grounded theory approach in particular, have become increasingly prominent in medical education research in recent years. In this Guide, we first provide a historical perspective on the origin and evolution of grounded theory. We then outline the principles underlying the grounded theory approach and the procedures for doing a grounded theory study, illustrating these elements with real examples. Next, we address key critiques of grounded theory, which continue to shape how the method is perceived and used. Finally, pitfalls and controversies in grounded theory research are examined to provide a balanced view of both the potential and the challenges of this approach. This Guide aims to assist researchers new to grounded theory to approach their studies in a disciplined and rigorous fashion, to challenge experienced researchers to reflect on their assumptions, and to arm readers of medical education research with an approach to critically appraising the quality of grounded theory studies.
