This study aimed to introduce and elucidate changes in Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory and discuss its application to the field of nursing in South Korea.
The changes in grounded theory by Strauss and Corbin were examined through a literature review of grounded theory from its inception.
Strauss and Corbin acknowledged their philosophical backgrounds of symbolic interactionism and pragmatism; however, their methodology based on positivism overwhelmed their epistemology and ontology. This inconsistency has been represented by the coding paradigm and the premise of "emergent from the data." In the revised version of , Strauss and Corbin modified their theory to weaken the coding paradigm and strengthen the strategies for the development of substantive theory.
Strauss and Corbin's revised grounded theory did not fully address the inconsistency of their epistemology and ontology between their acknowledgement and methodology. However, these changes constitute a meaningful step toward resolving inconsistencies and highlight the development of substantive theory. This has implications for Korean nursing researchers who have utilized methodologies in grounded theory with dogmatic approaches; grounded theory, with its evolving nature, is not a finalized method and calls for open approaches for the development of a grounded theory that fits Korean nursing.
本研究旨在介绍并阐明施特劳斯和科宾的扎根理论的变化，并讨论其在韩国护理领域的应用。
通过对扎根理论从创立之初的文献回顾，考察施特劳斯和科宾的扎根理论的变化。
施特劳斯和科宾承认他们的象征互动主义和实用主义的哲学背景；然而，他们基于实证主义的方法论压倒了他们的认识论和本体论。这种不一致体现在编码范式和“从数据中浮现”的前提上。在修订版中，施特劳斯和科宾修改了他们的理论，以削弱编码范式并加强实质性理论发展的策略。
施特劳斯和科宾修订后的扎根理论没有完全解决他们在认识论和本体论上承认与方法论之间的不一致。然而，这些变化是朝着解决不一致迈出的有意义的一步，并突出了实质性理论的发展。这对韩国护理研究人员有启示意义，他们以教条的方式运用扎根理论的方法；扎根理论具有不断演变的性质，不是一种固定的方法，需要开放的方法来发展适合韩国护理的扎根理论。
