dc.description.abstract | Objective
:
Grounded
Theory (GT) is an established qualitative research method but
few papers have encapsulated the benefits, limits, and basic tenets of doing GT
research on user and provider experiences of healthcare services. GT can be used to
guide the entire study method
, or applied at the data analysis stage only.
Methods:
We summarize key components of GT and common GT procedures used
by qualitative researchers in healthcare research. We draw on our experience of
conducting a GT study on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis p
atients’ experiences of
healthcare services.
Findings:
We discuss why some approaches in GT research may work better than
others, particularly when the focus of study is hard
-
to
-
reach population groups. We
highlight the flexibility of procedures in GT to
build theory about how people engage
with healthcare services.
Conclusion:
GT enables researchers to capture and understand healthcare
experiences. GT methods are particularly valuable when the topic of interest has not
previously been studied. GT can
be
applied to bring structure and rigor to
the
analysis
