Glaserian Grounded Theory in Nursing

This book illustrates the development of the Grounded Theory (GT) method developed by Glaser Strauss (1967) and further described by Glaser in Theoretical Sensitivity (1978) and his recent publications. The book presents an overview of the GT method, followed by discussions of various experiences in developing grounded theories. The book also includes a discussion of the use of conceptual mapping to assist in the analytical process. The contributors also describe the process of moving from a novice to an experienced researcher in the Glaserian GT method. Key Features Guidelines for how to use Glaserian grounded theory Readable research designs suitable for novice researchers Methods derived from research to develop intervention programs in clinical pratice
