Donor families experience different challenges which range from conflict and doubtfulness to confidence, satisfaction, and transcendence. Healthcare providers and organ procurers should not discontinue care and support provision to donor families after obtaining their consent to donate because the post-decision phase is also associated with different complexities and difficulties with which donor families may not be able to cope effectively. In order to help donor families achieve positive outcomes from the tragedy of significant loss, healthcare professionals need to facilitate the process of achieving confidence and transcendence by them.
Context: Theoretical sampling is the hallmark of grounded theory methodology, but there seems to be little information accessible to researchers regarding process and guidance concerning theoretical sampling. The current study aimed to have a comprehensive and thorough review of the related studies on theoretical sampling and examine definitions, challenges, differences and applicable tips about this type of sampling to provide a comprehensive and clear picture of the sampling process and its probable challenges as well as explaining its practical aspects. Objectives: The ultimate goal of all the explorations is to provide practical sources for researchers to answer their questions about theoretical sampling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
