Italian term or phrase: base empirica
Sociological study:
Il presente articolo illustra una parte dei risultati di uno studio empirico condotto, presso l’azienda ospedaliero-universitaria di da un'équipe multidisciplinare. In questo saggio abbiamo operato una ri-analisi della base empirica, costituita da 13 focus group, per individuare le metafore della collaborazione prevalenti e analizzarne connessioni con i cambiamenti socio-organizzativi in atto nelle organizzazioni sanitarie.

Is there a specific way of saying "base empirica" qui? Thanks.

empirical basis
Explanation:
With a degree in experimental psychology I tend to view both sociologists and focus groups as more metaphysical than empirical. From a language viewpoint I feel that any other than the most obvious translation would be to impose an unwarranted interpretation on the text.
