Abstract
Objective: This article aims to critically examine the origins of grounded Theory and its relationship to nursing by analyzing its historical development and contributions to knowledge in the field. Development: The study defines and explores the historical and epistemological origins of grounded theory as a methodology within the social sciences. Furthermore, it analyzes the historical link between grounded theory and nursing—an area that has received limited attention in the literature. Subsequently, it delves into a critical analysis of the epistemological evolution of grounded theory, particularly its constructivist variant, highlighting distinctive features and critiques. The article concludes with reflections on the noticeable gap in this area in the Spanish-speaking academic context. Conclusions: The complexities of contemporary nursing practice demand methodologies that not only describe and interpret the contributions of nurses to individual and public health but, more importantly, explain the intricate processes through which care is delivered.
