While research exploring diverse groups enhances understanding of their unique perspectives and experiences, it also contributes to the exclusion of such groups from mainstream frameworks and solutions. The feminist grounded theory method allows for inclusion of marginalized groups through theoretical sensitivity to feminist theory and theoretical sampling. This paper demonstrates how this approach results in an explanatory framework that accounts for diverse realities in a study of women's caring. Fraying connections were identified as women's initial response to competing and changing caring demands. The range of dimensions and properties of fraying connections was identified through theoretical sampling guided by the emerging themes and theoretical sensitivity to issues of gender, culture, age, ability, class, and sexual orientation.
虽然探索不同群体的研究增进了对其独特观点和经历的理解，但这也导致这些群体被排除在主流框架和解决方案之外。女性主义扎根理论方法通过对女性主义理论的理论敏感性和理论抽样，允许将边缘化群体纳入其中。本文展示了这种方法如何在一项关于女性关怀的研究中产生一个解释性框架，该框架考虑到了不同的现实情况。关系破裂被确定为女性对相互竞争且不断变化的关怀需求的最初反应。通过由新出现的主题以及对性别、文化、年龄、能力、阶级和性取向问题的理论敏感性所引导的理论抽样，确定了关系破裂的维度和属性范围。
