Zusammenfassung	A longitudinal semi-structured interview study collects open-ended, guided interview data from the same participants across multiple time points. By returning to the same individuals — weeks, months, or years apart — researchers can trace how experiences, perceptions, and meanings change over time. The approach blends the flexibility of qualitative inquiry with the temporal depth that is impossible in a one-shot design, making it a cornerstone method in qualitative longitudinal research.	Narrative analysis is a qualitative research method, synthesised canonically by Catherine Kohler Riessman (2008), that examines how individuals storise their lived experiences and construct meaning through the telling. Drawing on life history, biographical, and narrative inquiry traditions, it treats the story itself — not just its content — as the unit of analysis, attending to temporal sequence, plot structure, and the social context in which a narrative is produced.
