Shrnutí	Field-based qualitative content analysis (field QCA) combines systematic, category-driven content analysis with data collected directly in naturalistic settings. Rather than working with pre-existing texts or archived material, the researcher gathers documents, field notes, artifacts, and informal textual records during fieldwork and subjects them to rigorous qualitative content analysis. The approach preserves the contextual depth of field inquiry while applying the structured, transparent analytic logic that distinguishes qualitative content analysis from purely impressionistic reading.	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.
