الملخص	Interpretive content analysis is a systematic qualitative approach for analyzing the latent meanings and interpretive frameworks embedded in textual, visual, or documentary data. Unlike frequency-based content analysis, it foregrounds the researcher's interpretive engagement with texts to uncover how meaning is constructed, contested, or reproduced. Philipp Mayring's qualitative content analysis and broader interpretive traditions provide the methodological backbone for this approach.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
