Abstract

Introduction: Few studies have focused on developing theories to explain caregiving as performed by grandparents who provide care for their grandchildren in any setting. Theory development that is grounded in the experiences and cultural context of those being studied is needed to inform research, subsequent care, and overall well-being, especially of populations that are understudied.

Methods: This manuscript was informed by Constructivist Grounded Theory, semi-structured in-depth and individual interviews. Also, three methodological phases were followed: (a) concurrent data collection and analysis procedures, (b) developing categories and relationships among them, and (c) defining the core category and building the substantive theory.

Results: The methodological steps involved in generating a substantive theory, the GRAndparent-CarEgiving (GRACE) model, are reported.

Discussion: Research, and subsequently the well-being and health care of grandparent-caregivers, needs to be informed by culturally congruent theories that are founded in the experiences and cultural context of the individuals being investigated.

利用基础理论为乌干达的祖父母照护工作制定实质性理论：GRACE 模型。

介绍：很少有研究专注于发展理论来解释祖父母在任何情况下对孙辈的照顾。我们需要以被研究者的经验和文化背景为基础来发展理论，为研究、后续护理和整体福祉提供信息，尤其是对研究不足的人群：本手稿参考了建构主义基础理论、半结构化深入访谈和个别访谈。此外，还遵循了三个方法阶段：(a) 同步进行数据收集和分析程序，(b) 发展类别及其之间的关系，(c) 界定核心类别并建立实质性理论：结果：报告了产生一个实质性理论--"父母与给予"（GRAndparent-CarEgiving，GRACE）模型--的方法步骤：讨论：研究工作以及祖父母照顾者的福祉和医疗保健工作都需要以符合文化背景的理论为基础，这些理论应建立在被研究者的经历和文化背景之上。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
