Primary nursing, a growing care model, requires deeper philosophical investigation. Qualitative research, specifically grounded theory, is proposed to systematically explore its core tenets and values for better evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Primary nursing is increasingly adopted across clinical settings.
  • Literature on primary nursing has expanded but often lacks methodological rigor.
  • Existing research presents equivocal findings regarding primary nursing's benefits and nature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the need for systematic investigation into the foundational principles of primary nursing.
  • To advocate for a qualitative research approach to develop theory around primary nursing.
  • To propose grounded theory as the most suitable methodology for this investigation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of a sample of existing primary nursing literature.
  • Identification of methodological weaknesses and equivocal findings in current research.

  • Proposal and justification of grounded theory methodology for future research.

    • Main Results:

    • Current literature on primary nursing is largely descriptive or evaluative.
    • Methodological limitations and inconsistent findings characterize existing studies.
    • A significant gap exists in the systematic investigation of primary nursing's philosophical underpinnings.

    Conclusions:

    • A philosophical analysis of primary nursing's core tenets is essential.
    • Qualitative research, particularly grounded theory, is necessary to generate theory.
    • Future research should employ grounded theory to systematically explore and define primary nursing.
