Grounded theory, a qualitative research method, helps build models of clinical practice. This approach, used with physical therapists, develops a framework for clinical expertise.

Area of Science:

  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Clinical Practice Models
  • Professional Expertise Development

Background:

  • Understanding clinical practice requires robust theoretical frameworks.
  • Existing models may not fully capture the nuances of expertise.
  • A systematic approach is needed to develop and refine such models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the utility of grounded theory in developing models for clinical practice.
  • To propose a theoretical framework for clinical expertise.
  • To illustrate the iterative process of model development in research.

Main Methods:

  • Employed grounded theory methodology across multiple research studies.
  • Involved novice, experienced, and expert physical therapy practitioners.

  • Utilized iterative data collection, literature review, and conceptual framework revision.

    • Main Results:

    • Conceptual frameworks were progressively refined based on empirical data and literature.
    • A theoretical framework for clinical expertise in physical therapy emerged from the research.
    • The study highlights grounded theory's suitability for complex, multi-stage research.

    Conclusions:

    • Grounded theory is effective for developing models of clinical practice.
    • The proposed framework offers insights into the nature of clinical expertise.
    • This methodology supports multi-site, multi-researcher investigations.
