Abstract

MORAL, Gonzalo del  and  SUAREZ-RELINQUE, Cristian. Family categorization as a technique to support the analysis process that follows the grounded theory. Gac Sanit [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.1, pp.87-90.  Epub May 18, 2020. ISSN 0213-9111.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2018.09.007.

An important aspect that requires special attention by researchers using qualitative methods is the construction of theoretical categories, or more specifically, the step between coding and categorization. One of the most structured methodological proposals used in health sciences is grounded theory. In this paper an analytical technique called “family categorization” is proposed. Its aim is to facilitate the steps of creating the initial categories, based on intra and inter-family codes analysis.

Keywords : Grounded theory; Categorization; Codification; Qualitative methodology.
