The purposes of this paper are to examine the issues surrounding current changes in grounded theory (GT) research methods and to explicate an innovative synthesis technique to GT data analysis.
In recent years there has been a steady rise in the number of published research reports that use the GT method. However, this growing body of GT literature has been criticized for its lack of adherence to the method as explicated by its originators, Glaser and Strauss.
Recent and past literature that explicates, describes, and discusses GT methods is reviewed. A synthesis technique for grounded theory data analysis was developed to analyse qualitative data collected for a grounded theory study on caregiving. This synthesis technique was derived from the works of four grounded theorists (Kathy Charmaz, Mark Chesler, Juliet Corbin and Anselm Strauss).
The lack of clarity and the inconsistencies surrounding GT analysis, as reported in the literature, resulted in the development of a synthesis technique based on the works of the aforementioned-grounded theorists. The product was a synthesis approach that included analytical steps from each of these authors.
This synthesis approach increased understanding and enhanced clarity of GT data analysis techniques. This paper illustrates how integration of works by noted qualitative scholars is an appropriate and effective means to advance the discourse on data analysis for GT research studies.
本文旨在探讨扎根理论（GT）研究方法当前变化所涉及的问题，并阐述一种用于GT数据分析的创新综合技术。
近年来，使用GT方法的已发表研究报告数量稳步上升。然而，这一不断增长的GT文献因其未遵循该方法的创始人格拉泽和施特劳斯所阐述的方法而受到批评。
回顾了近期和过去阐述、描述和讨论GT方法的文献。开发了一种扎根理论数据分析的综合技术，以分析为一项关于护理的扎根理论研究收集的定性数据。这种综合技术源自四位扎根理论家（凯西·查马兹、马克·切斯勒、朱丽叶·科尔宾和安塞尔姆·施特劳斯）的著作。
如文献中所报道的，GT分析缺乏清晰度和一致性，导致基于上述扎根理论家的著作开发了一种综合技术。成果是一种综合方法，其中包括来自这些作者各自的分析步骤。
这种综合方法增进了对GT数据分析技术的理解并提高了清晰度。本文说明了整合知名定性学者的著作是推进GT研究数据分析讨论的一种恰当且有效的手段。
