Marco metodológico para alcance del grado de saturación en la investigación cualitativa: teoría fundamentada

investigación cualitativa, realizada en cuatro Unidades Salud de la Familia, entre junio de 2018 y mayo de 2019. Datos de entrevistas con 30 profesionales de salud y observación no participante fueron codificados en las etapas: abierta, axial e integración.

Resultados:

grado de saturación fue alcanzado por dos modelos conceptuales - saturación teórica y temática inductiva. Fueron considerados para la saturación teórica: el desarrollo de códigos conceptuales y observación, en la recolecta y análisis de los datos, cuando generaban nuevas categorías/subcategorías o apenas indicaban instancias crecientes. Para la saturación temática inductiva, destacó la utilización de nuevos códigos basados en cada entrevista.

Consideraciones Finales:

la esquematización visual para la cantidad de códigos, inclusión teórica de los conceptos y delimitación de los grupos muestrales orientó la identificación del grado de saturación al desarrollo del cuerpo conceptual que sustentó la teoría sustantiva.
