The Grounded Theory based on the data is a qualitative research method widely used in Nursing and due it was developed to the different aspects,
it requires by researches special attention in its application, considering the different approach and techniques. This reflection is presented with the
objective of discussing the main points of divergence in the use of the different aspects of the Grounded Theory in Nursing research.In spite of the
different approaches in the traditional, relativistic and constructivist aspects, the in-depth study and the careful execution need to be encouraged by
professionals in this area of activity, aiming at the production of knowledge, with a guarantee of methodological rigor and qualified research results to
subsidize and improve the practice.
