Grounded theory and participatory action research methods are distinct approaches to qualitative inquiry. Although grounded theory has been conceptualized in constructivist terms, it has elements of positivist thinking with an image of neutral search for objective truth through rigorous data collection and analysis. Participatory action research is based on a critique of this image and calls for more inclusive research processes. It questions the possibility of objective social sciences and aspires to engage people actively in all stages of generating knowledge. The authors applied both approaches in a project designed to explore the experiences of female survivors of childhood sexual abuse with physical therapy and subsequently develop a handbook on sensitive practice for clinicians that takes into consideration the needs and perspectives of these clients. Building on this experience, they argue that the integration of grounded theory and participatory action research can empower clients to inform professional practice.
扎根理论和参与式行动研究方法是定性研究的不同方法。尽管扎根理论已从建构主义角度进行了概念化，但它具有实证主义思维的元素，其形象是通过严格的数据收集和分析来中立地探寻客观真理。参与式行动研究基于对这种形象的批判，并呼吁采用更具包容性的研究过程。它质疑客观社会科学的可能性，并渴望让人们积极参与知识生成的各个阶段。作者在一个项目中运用了这两种方法，该项目旨在探索童年性虐待女性幸存者接受物理治疗的经历，并随后为临床医生编写一本关于敏感实践的手册，其中考虑到了这些客户的需求和观点。基于这一经验，他们认为将扎根理论和参与式行动研究相结合可以使客户有能力为专业实践提供信息。
