Changes in Strauss & Corbin¡¯s Grounded Theory
Kim Ji-Eun

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to introduce and elucidate changes in Strauss and Corbin¡¯s grounded theory and discuss its application to the field of nursing in South Korea.

Methods: The changes in grounded theory by Strauss and Corbin were examined through a literature review of grounded theory from its inception.

Results: Strauss and Corbin acknowledged their philosophical backgrounds of symbolic interactionism and pragmatism; however, their methodology based on positivism overwhelmed their epistemology and ontology. This inconsistency has been represented by the coding paradigm and the premise of ¡°emergent from the data.¡± In the revised version of Basics, Strauss and Corbin modified their theory to weaken the coding paradigm and strengthen the strategies for the development of substantive theory.

Conclusion: Strauss and Corbin¡¯s revised grounded theory did not fully address the inconsistency of their epistemology and ontology between their acknowledgement and methodology. However, these changes constitute a meaningful step toward resolving inconsistencies and highlight the development of substantive theory. This has implications for Korean nursing researchers who have utilized methodologies in grounded theory with dogmatic approaches; grounded theory, with its evolving nature, is not a finalized method and calls for open approaches for the development of a grounded theory that fits Korean nursing.
