Interviewing Young Men about Sex and Procreation: Methodological Issues
Because clear instructions for interviewing men about their developing procreative identities do not exist, the authors discuss a variety of methodological issues that surfaced during in-depth interviews with young men about relationships, sex, contraception, pregnancy, and fatherhood. The authors interviewed a diverse sample of 50 single male participants, ages 16 to 30, who had dated at least one woman in the past 3 years (or had been married).…
Reconciling Incompatibilities: A Grounded Theory of HIV Medication Adherence and Symptom Management
The purpose of this grounded theory study was to explain how ethnically diverse men and women living with HIV manage their interacting illness symptoms, medication side effects, and treatment adherence choices. The authors used the constant comparative method to analyze textual data from in-depth interviews with 66 HIV-infected people representing the changing HIV demographic profile in the San Francisco Bay area and generate a theory of Reconcil…
Low-Income African American Adolescents who Avoid Pregnancy: Tough Girls who Rewrite Negative Scripts
The purpose of this research was to generate a grounded theory that explains the social-psychological processes of low-income African American adolescents who avoided pregnancy. Data collection included focus groups and in-depth interviews with 17 women aged 19 to 26. Data analysis using the grounded theory method revealed that these girls were the recipients of negative social-psychological scripts, putting them at risk for poverty and early chi…
The Development of Qualitative Health Research: Taking Stock
The purpose of this article, which was a keynote presentation at the Qualitative Health Research Conference (QHR 2000) in Banff, Canada, is to provide a historical perspective of qualitative research in nursing over the past 20 years. Van Gennep’s model of rites of passage is used as a heuristic. A discussion of the stages of stopping, waiting, transition, and entry is followed by speculation about the key characteristics necessary for qualitativ…
Young Men's Procreative Identity: Becoming Aware, Being Aware, and Being Responsible
Using a purposive sample of 37 single men aged 16 to 30, in-depth face-to-face interviews, and a grounded theory approach, we explore males' subjective experiences as procreative beings. Our study is informed by symbolic interactionism and 2 sensitizing concepts: procreative consciousness and procreative responsibility. We focus on how males become aware of their perceived fecundity, experience themselves as procreative beings once they become aw…
Warnings about Vulnerability in Clients with Diabetes and Hypertension
The purpose of the grounded theory study discussed in this article was to discover and explicate the basic social problem in clients with diabetes and hypertension that affects their adherence to health care directives. In-depth interviews with 21 clients with both diabetes and hypertension and 3 health care providers who care for such clients were concurrently conducted, coded, and analyzed according to the grounded theory method. Clients with d…
Double Binds and the Reproductive and Mothering Experiences of HIV-Positive Women
In spite of the increasing number of young women infected with HIV in the United States, little is known about the reproductive and mothering experiences of these women. The purpose of the grounded-theory research discussed in this article was to describe the reproductive and mothering experiences of HIV-positive women. Twenty HIV-positive women participated in 31 in-depth interviews. The grounded-theory method was used for data analysis. A commu…
Defensive Mothering in HIV-Positive Mothers
The grounded theory study discussed in this article provides an explanatory schema that illuminates the mothering experiences of women living with HIV infection. Eighteen HIV-positive mothers provided 24 in-depth interviews. The grounded theory method was used for data analysis. Defensive mothering was the basic social psychological process that these HIV-positive mothers used in response to their diagnosis and the inherent stigma. Their defensiv…
From Theory to Practice: The Development of Assessment Guides from Qualitatively Derived Theory
In this article, a method of using qualitative research findings to develop a patient assessment guide is described. Qualitatively derived theory is deconstructed to form the theoretical components of the guide. Nursing assessment questions and behavioral signs are then elicited from the theory. Intervention strategies are extrapolated both from theory and from clinical nursing knowledge. Finally, the assessment guide is implemented and evaluated…
Salvaging Quality of Life in Ethnically Diverse Patients with Advanced HIV/Aids
This article reports a grounded theory of Salvaging Quality of Life generated in Phase 1 of an instrument development study that aims to generate and then validate an ethnically sensitive quality-of-life (QoL) measure for patients with late-stage HIV/AIDS. A purposive sample of patient participants and family/significant-other caregivers was interviewed, and six focus groups with expert nurse clinicians were conducted yielding more than 2,000 pag…
Early probable Alzheimer's Disease and Awareness Context Theory
The Process of Developing Personal Sovereignty in Women who Repeatedly Acquire Sexually Transmitted Diseases
The purpose of this study was to generate a grounded theory that illuminates the social psychological processes of women who are beginning to change their behavior after repeatedly contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Twelve in-depth interviews with 10 women provided data. Interviews and field notes were analyzed according to the grounded theory method. A substantive theory is proposed that describes the process of women moving from self-ab…
Benefits of Participating in Research Interviews
Interviews are a fundamental data collection method used in qualitative health research to help understand people's responses to illness or a particular situation. The risks associated with participating in 7 or 2 hour research interviews when a study focuses on vulnerable populations and sensitive issues are scrutinized by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Human Subjects Committees.
Women's experiences of repetitively contracting sexually transmitted diseases
Our purpose in conducting this qualitative, descriptive research was to explore and describe women's experiences of repetitively contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Ten open-ended, semistructured, in-depth interviews with 8 women, along with stories and anecdotes from one author's clinical practice, provided data. Thematic analysis was used to generate themes important to the women. Themes included the power and significance of hete…
Triangulation of Qualitative Methods: Heideggerian Hermeneutics and Grounded Theory
This article proposes the use of two qualitative research methodologies-Heideggerian hermeneutics and grounded theory-as a way to understand complex human phenomena. The hermeneutic method uses "thick description," "paradigm cases," "exemplars," and "the-matic analysis" to discover meanings and ways of being (practices) in lived experiences. The aim of grounded theory methodology is to generate an analytic schema called "a substantive grounded th…
