Reflections on developing a conceptual framework to support a constructivist grounded theory study on compassion in nursing.

CONCLUSION: Using an accessible and unambiguous approach to support the development of a conceptual framework can benefit novice researchers and minimise the challenges they may encounter. One such approach guides researchers to clarify a personal interest in the topic, undertake a topical review of the literature informing the area of investigation and articulate the theoretical perspectives that influence their worldview.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The discussion presented in this paper offers a valuable contribution to help novice researchers to construct conceptual frameworks.
