Abstract

In recent years, numerous published calls to action from nurses and nursing scholars requested greater involvement and response to the health needs of refugees and asylum seekers. Youth refugees and asylum seekers have been particularly vulnerable to mental health difficulties and have experienced major barriers to mental health access. Grounded theory may be suitable to expand our understanding of this field, which could assist decision-makers, managers, healthcare providers, and researchers in developing policies and programs to address this wicked problem. This paper, therefore, reviews and examines grounded theory’s core components, history, types, ontology, epistemology, methodology, methods, strengths, limitations, utility to nursing inquiry, and potential in supporting mental health service research for youth refugees and asylum seekers.

Keywords: Asylum seekers, grounded theory, mental health care, nursing, refugees
