Abstract

Introduction: Grounded theory is a qualitative research method utilized to discover or theorize from the immerging data and analyze it systematically using constant comparative analysis. Although grounded theory is flexible, methods are complex. Therefore, researchers need to understand methods and applications of grounded theory concepts and processes before applying the theory to nursing research. The explicit understanding of grounded theory is significant to properly conduct research.

Objectives: To present knowledge of the grounded theory in nursing research.

Key issues: Grounded theory study is a research method in which the steps of analysis and data collection are concurrent conducted to maintain a constant comparison analysis method. This leads to categorization of data until it is saturated for developing a theory from the data called substantive theory.

Conclusions: Grounded theory was developed from the concept of symbolic interaction. The key features of the theory include theoretical sampling, constant comparison, theoretical sensitivity, and coding and categorizing to develop or create a theory.

Implications: Researchers can apply knowledge of grounded theory to conduct research and develop or create nursing theories in other perspectives.
