Describing the theoretical sampling process in the development of a Grounded Theory based on the Straussian strand. The objective of the field research, used as an example, was to develop a substantive theory, based on the theoretical framework of Symbolic Interactionism, about the perceptions and experiences of patients, family members, and health professionals regarding the presence of the family during emergency care.
In the theoretical sampling, 42 participants were recruited, divided into nine sample groups, constituted based on the constant comparative method.
The description of this example allowed to identify how theoretical sampling guided data collection, which occurred through the in-depth study of concepts and the search for answers to questions arising from the data.
It is expected that the readers find subsidies to understand how theoretical sampling is conducted in a Grounded Theory study, based on the Straussian strand, and thus be able to apply it.
描述基于施特劳斯流派的扎根理论发展中的理论抽样过程。该实地研究的目的是基于符号互动论的理论框架,发展一种关于患者、家属和卫生专业人员对急诊期间家属存在的看法和经验的实质性理论。
在理论抽样中,招募了 42 名参与者,分为九个样本组,根据恒定比较法组成。
该示例的描述使我们能够了解理论抽样如何指导数据收集,这是通过深入研究概念和寻找数据中出现的问题的答案来实现的。
希望读者能够找到理解基于施特劳斯流派的扎根理论中理论抽样的方法的方法,从而能够应用它。
