主位的概念对定性数据的准确解释至关重要。定性研究方法和护理研究的文献回顾显示，相当大的多样性，在确定的主题，概念的解释，其功能的数据分析。问题的一部分是从其他学科的研究方法转移到护理现象的研究。这种转移往往导致不同研究方法的混合，从而损害了数据分析和理论生成的方法论严谨性。通过文献综述和跨学科的定义和描述，对主题进行了定义。确定了主题的五个方面以及主题定义和概念的基本标准。主题的概念的含义提出的研究结果的实践和发展的护理科学的行为和应用。
The concept of theme is critical to the accurate interpretation of qualitative data. A literature review of qualitative research methodology and nursing research studies reveals considerable diversity in the identification of themes, the interpretation of the concept, and its function in data analysis. Part of the problem is the transfer of research methods from other disciplines to the study of nursing phenomena. The transfer often results in a blending of distinct research methods that compromises methodological rigor in data analysis and theory generation. A definition of theme is developed from the literature review and interdisciplinary definitions and descriptions. Five aspects of a theme and criteria foundational to the definition and concept of theme are identified. Implications of the concept of theme are presented for the conduct and application of research findings to the practice and development of nursing science.
