在今天的NHS，定性研究是越来越重要的评估和提高护理质量的方法。在过去的40年里，扎根理论已经发展成为定性数据的分析方法。它主要是一个归纳过程，从数据中产生理论见解，而演绎研究则通过数据收集来测试理论假设。扎根理论是在广泛的应用社会科学中接受定性方法的主要贡献者之一。扎根理论作为一种方法的影响，部分是基于它为分析和理论生成提供了一个明确的框架。此外，强调将研究建立在参与者的现实基础上也使其在医疗保健研究中获得了可信度。与所有分析方法一样，扎根理论也有缺点和局限性。重要的是要了解这些，以评估这种方法的适用性，以医疗保健研究。在这篇综述中，我们概述了扎根理论的原则，并重点介绍了主题分析作为扎根理论研究中最常用的分析方法，旨在为临床医生提供
In today's NHS, qualitative research is increasingly important as a method of assessing and improving quality of care. Grounded theory has developed as an analytical approach to qualitative data over the last 40 years. It is primarily an inductive process whereby theoretical insights are generated from data, in contrast to deductive research where theoretical hypotheses are tested via data collection. Grounded theory has been one of the main contributors to the acceptance of qualitative methods in a wide range of applied social sciences. The influence of grounded theory as an approach is, in part, based on its provision of an explicit framework for analysis and theory generation. Furthermore the stress upon grounding research in the reality of participants has also given it credence in healthcare research.As with all analytical approaches, grounded theory has drawbacks and limitations. It is important to have an understanding of these in order to assess the applicability of this approach to healthcare research. In this review we outline the principles of grounded theory, and focus on thematic analysis as the analytical approach used most frequently in grounded theory studies, with the aim of providing clinicians
