Understanding, choosing and applying grounded theory: part 1.

CONCLUSION: Grounded theory is particularly useful in nursing and midwifery research, where it can be applied to a broad range of topics. Neophyte researchers should not be deterred by its rigorous standards, although time and effort are required to appreciate the similarities and differences between grounded theory approaches.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: A clear understanding of its philosophical foundations and attention to its main features should underpin researchers' efforts to conduct a high-quality grounded theory study.
