'Doing a thesis', whether for Masters or PhD, can be a lonely and tortuous journey. This article offers a complementary process to the traditional apprenticeship supervision model. It describes the experiences of students who during their thesis research met monthly in a grounded theory working group. They reflected on their experiences during a focus group interview. After describing the background to how the group started in 1999 and exploring some of the ideas in the literature concerning the thesis experience, the article presents the interview. To focus the presentation, specific questions are used as category headings. Overall, the participants found attending the group was a "life-line" that gave them "hope" and was complementary to the supervision process. Through the support of peers, guidance from those ahead in the process, and consultancy with teachers and visiting methodological scholars, these students not only successfully completed their theses, but reported that they had some enjoyment along the way. This is the fifteenth in a series of articles which have been based on interviews with nursing and midwifery researchers, and were primarily designed to offer the beginning researcher a first-hand account of the experience of using particular methodologies.
撰写论文，无论是硕士论文还是博士论文，都可能是一段孤独而曲折的历程。本文提供了一个与传统师徒指导模式相辅相成的过程。它描述了一些学生的经历，这些学生在论文研究期间每月都会参加一个扎根理论工作小组。他们在焦点小组访谈中反思自己的经历。在介绍了该小组于1999年成立的背景，并探讨了文献中一些关于论文经历的观点之后，本文呈现了访谈内容。为了使呈现更具重点，特定问题被用作类别标题。总体而言，参与者发现参加该小组是一条“生命线”，给了他们“希望”，并且是对指导过程的补充。通过同伴的支持、过程中前辈的指导以及与教师和来访方法学学者的咨询，这些学生不仅成功完成了他们的论文，还表示在这个过程中获得了一些乐趣。这是一系列基于对护理和助产研究人员访谈的文章中的第十五篇，这些文章主要旨在为初涉研究的人员提供关于使用特定方法经验的第一手描述。
