Increasingly, qualitative research methods are being embraced by nurse researchers because these approaches allow exploration of human experience. Failure to explicate qualitative methodologies is resulting in a body of nursing research that is either mislabelled or is classified broadly as qualitative and subject to charges that qualitative research lacks rigour. In this paper, the authors discuss the importance of specificity in methodology and distinguish between phenomenology and grounded theory, two frequently misused terms in the description of qualitative methodology.
越来越多的护士研究人员采用定性研究方法，因为这些方法能够探索人类的经历。未能清晰阐述定性研究方法导致了一批护理研究要么被错误归类，要么被宽泛地归为定性研究，并面临定性研究缺乏严谨性的指责。在本文中，作者讨论了方法特异性的重要性，并区分了现象学和扎根理论，这是定性研究方法描述中两个经常被误用的术语。
