Резюме	Visual elicitation reflexive thematic analysis (VERTA) is a qualitative compound design that uses photographs, drawings, or other images as conversation starters in in-depth interviews and then analyses the resulting talk using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework. The visual prompt lowers the communication barrier, stimulates richer narrative, and anchors abstract experiences to concrete imagery, while the reflexive analytic approach treats theme development as an active, iterative, and researcher-engaged interpretive process rather than a coding algorithm.	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.
