Abstract

Background: Nurse researchers are constantly seeking novel methods of maintaining philosophical congruence while advancing their knowledge of the human condition using paradigmatically diverse means.

Aim: To provide an overview of the research philosophies underpinning the mixed methods grounded theory (MM-GT) methodology, illustrate its optimal use and introduce a quality-appraisal tool being developed with reference to extant literature.

Discussion: The utility of MM-GT has been effectively demonstrated in the nursing and health literature. Yet, there are examples of how it has been under-used and sub-optimally applied. This article includes a two-phase MM-GT study protocol guided by a pragmatic research philosophy and best practice recommendations that aims to explain neonatal nurses' professional quality of life.

Conclusion: Optimal use of MM-GT's five essential components - purposive sampling, constant comparative methods with iterative coding and analysis, theoretical saturation, memoing and theory development - combine to produce high-quality, defensible research outputs and new nursing theory.

Implications for practice: Research outputs, such as publication and presentation, expounding the multifactorial influences affecting neonatal nurses' professional quality of life will not only benefit the neonatal nursing community but also contribute to the corpus of nursing and midwifery research and enhance the health, well-being and retention of nurses and midwives more broadly.

使用混合方法基础理论方法解释新生儿护士的职业生活质量。

背景：目的：概述混合方法基础理论（MM-GT）方法的研究理念，说明其最佳使用方法，并参考现有文献介绍一种正在开发的质量评估工具：讨论：MM-GT 的实用性已在护理和健康文献中得到有效证明。讨论：MM-GT 的实用性已在护理和健康文献中得到有效证明，但也有其使用不足和应用不佳的例子。本文包括以实用主义研究理念和最佳实践建议为指导的两阶段 MM-GT 研究方案，旨在解释新生儿护士的专业生活质量：最佳利用 MM-GT 的五个基本组成部分--有目的的抽样、迭代编码和分析的恒定比较方法、理论饱和、备忘录和理论发展--可产生高质量、可辩护的研究成果和新的护理理论：研究成果，如出版物和演讲，阐述了影响新生儿护士专业生活质量的多因素影响，这不仅有利于新生儿护理界，也有助于护理和助产研究的发展，更广泛地促进护士和助产士的健康、福祉和留任。

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.
