To examine an ethnographic study using evaluation criteria for theory-testing through verification of personal experience.
Ten theory-verification criteria developed by Silva and Sorrel (1992) for inductive methods of inquiry.
A 1995 ethnographic study conducted with Mexican Americans and conceptualized within Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory of Nursing. Twenty Mexican American key informants were from 13 families. Primary data sources were focused observations and a series of ethnographic interviews. The study, purposes, methods, selected findings, confirmability and credibility of study findings, and relevance to Orem's theory are presented in the context of each criterion.
The purpose, design, analysis, and examination of results of the 1995 study sufficiently meet the 10 formative criteria. Because this study can be considered an example of theory verification research, findings are relevant to the development of Orem's theory.
Through the use of theory-verification criteria, inductive methods of research can be used to test or verify theory. The testing of nursing theory with diverse populations is an important direction for continued theory development. Use of evaluation criteria can serve as a template for inclusion of diverse perspectives.
通过个人经验验证来检验一项使用理论检验评估标准的人种学研究。
席尔瓦和索雷尔（1992年）为归纳探究方法制定的十条理论验证标准。
1995年对墨西哥裔美国人进行的一项人种学研究，该研究在奥瑞姆的护理自理缺陷理论框架内进行概念化。20名墨西哥裔美国关键 informant 来自13个家庭。主要资料来源是重点观察和一系列人种学访谈。该研究、目的、方法、选定的研究结果、研究结果的可证实性和可信度以及与奥瑞姆理论的相关性在每条标准的背景下呈现。
1995年研究的目的、设计、分析和结果检验充分满足了十条形成性标准。由于该研究可被视为理论验证研究的一个例子，研究结果与奥瑞姆理论的发展相关。
通过使用理论验证标准，归纳研究方法可用于检验或验证理论。对不同人群进行护理理论测试是理论持续发展的一个重要方向。使用评估标准可作为纳入不同观点的模板。
