Complexities in Palliative Cancer Care: Can Grounded Theories be Useful to Increase Awareness?
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper includes first a summary of a grounded theory Living on hold , which was one of four different grounded theories in my dissertation (Sandgren, 2010). The theory is then explained in relation to the other grounded theories to give an example of how different grounded theories can be integrated, which leads to an increased awareness of what is going on in a research area.
