Development of substantive theory in nursing.

N Hogan, L DeSantis

    Nurse Education Today
    |June 1, 1991
    PubMed
    Summary

    Nursing research needs original theories, not borrowed ones. Developing substantive theory requires multi-method approaches like triangulation, preparing doctoral students for scientific practice.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Theory Development
    • Research Methodology

    Background:

    • Nursing often borrows theories and methods from other disciplines.
    • Focus on applied research has hindered the development of nursing's own substantive theory base.
    • A need exists for original nursing research to establish a scientifically-based practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To advocate for the development of a comprehensive, substantive theory base in nursing.
    • To explore multi-method perspectives, specifically triangulation, for generating nursing theory.
    • To describe a method for preparing doctoral nursing students in triangulation for substantive theory development.

    Main Methods:

    • Discusses the necessity of multi-method perspectives in nursing research.
    • Highlights triangulation (combining qualitative and quantitative methods) as a strategy.
    • Outlines a pedagogical approach for doctoral students in using triangulation.

    Main Results:

    • Multi-method approaches, particularly triangulation, are essential for developing substantive nursing theory.
    • Doctoral students can be prepared to utilize triangulation effectively.
    • This approach fosters original nursing research and strengthens the scientific basis of practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Developing original substantive theory is crucial for advancing nursing as a scientific discipline.
    • Triangulation offers a robust methodology for generating nursing-specific theories.
    • Educating future nurse scientists in advanced methodologies like triangulation is vital.
