Comfort vs risk: a grounded theory about female adolescent behaviour in the sun.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To generate a grounded theory about female adolescent behaviour in the sun. BACKGROUND: Nurses have key roles in health promotion and skin cancer prevention. Adolescents' resistance to sun safety messages and their vulnerability to sunburn are of concern internationally. Understanding why young women do as they do in the sun may enhance skin cancer prevention, but their behaviour has not been explained before in the UK. DESIGN: The study incorporated a qualitative grounded theory design using the approach of Glaser. METHODS: Qualitative data were gleaned from group and …

Conducting grounded theories in midwifery research: Practical insights.

This article offers a practice-oriented reflection on conducting Grounded Theory (GT) in midwifery research. Building on a constructivist GT study on Italian midwifery care, it does not restate standard GT procedures; instead, it focuses on the methodological decision points that most strongly shaped analytic quality, coherence, and feasibility. Rather than providing a generic overview, it traces the concrete steps, trade-offs, and adaptations involved in implementing GT in a real world, applied setting. The paper discusses the importance of explicit paradigmatic positioning, the central inter…

Explaining donor lapse in voluntary blood donation: A grounded theory study from China.

In recent years, many countries and regions have witnessed a decline or lapse in voluntary blood donation, leading to blood shortages and instability in transfusion services. However, little is known about why previously active donors discontinue donating. Drawing on over 230 semi-structured interviews and 5310 social media comments, this study employs grounded theory to construct an explanatory framework of donor lapse. The findings reveal five major drivers: institutional trust gap, cost-benefit imbalance, weakening of social norms, motivational instrumentalisation, and negative donation/use…

Experiences of Introduction to and Participation in Quad Rugby: A Grounded Theory Approach.

Individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) report low physical activity participation levels. A lack of physical activity can lead to increased secondary health concerns, such as cardiovascular, psychological, genitourinary, and musculoskeletal complications. Adaptive sports, such as quad rugby, allow individuals with SCI to maintain appropriate physical activity levels. This grounded theory study aimed to explore the experiences of individuals learning about and participating in quad rugby after SCI in the United States. Twelve participants from seven states across the United States complete…

Factors That Influence Intraoperative Decision-Making among Pediatric Neurosurgeons: A Grounded Theory Study.

INTRODUCTION: Pediatric neurosurgery is a subspecialty of medicine that is responsible for diagnosing, managing, and treating neurological disease in children with the use of surgery. Good intraoperative decision-making is critical to ensuring patient safety, yet almost nothing is known about what factors play a role in intraoperative decisions. As such, the purpose of this paper was to explore the factors that influence intraoperative decisions when pediatric neurosurgeons encounter something unexpected or uncertain during surgery. METHODS: The study utilized the grounded theory method of da…

A Grounded Theory of Sexual Minority Women and Transgender Individuals' Social Justice Activism.

Psychosocial benefits of activism include increased empowerment, social connectedness, and resilience. Yet sexual minority women (SMW) and transgender individuals with multiple oppressed statuses and identities are especially prone to oppression-based experiences, even within minority activist communities. This study sought to develop an empirical model to explain the diverse meanings of social justice activism situated in SMW and transgender individuals' social identities, values, and experiences of oppression and privilege. Using a grounded theory design, 20 SMW and transgender individuals p…

Understanding psychological distress among mothers in rural Nepal: a qualitative grounded theory exploration.

BACKGROUND: There is a large burden of psychological distress in low and middle-income countries, and culturally relevant interventions must be developed to address it. This requires an understanding of how distress is experienced. We conducted a qualitative grounded theory study to understand how mothers experience and manage distress in Dhanusha, a low-resource setting in rural Nepal. We also explored how distressed mothers interact with their families and the wider community. METHODS: Participants were identified during a cluster-randomised controlled trial in which mothers were screened f…

Wavefunction theory and density functional theory analysis of ground and excited electronic states of TaB and WB.

Several low-lying electronic states of TaB and WB molecules were studied using ab initio multireference configuration interaction (MRCI), Davidson corrected MRCI (MRCI+Q), and coupled cluster singles doubles and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] methods. Their full potential energy curves (PECs), equilibrium electron configurations, equilibrium bond distances (res), dissociation energies (Des), excitation energies (Tes), harmonic vibrational frequencies (ωes), and anharmonicities (ωexes) are reported. The MRCI dipole moment curves (DMCs) of the first 5 electronic states of both TaB and WB are als

Developing a model for conflict management in intensive care units: A grounded theory study.

BACKGROUND: Conflict is a very common phenomenon in the intensive care unit (ICU). Nonetheless, the aim of conflict-related strategies is not to eliminate conflicts but to effectively manage them.
