Zusammenfassung	Multiple case-based interpretive phenomenological analysis (multi-case IPA) applies the close, idiographic reading of IPA to a set of purposively selected cases, conducting detailed within-case analysis before systematically comparing themes across cases. The approach retains IPA's commitment to understanding individual lived experience in depth while allowing the researcher to identify convergent and divergent patterns across structurally similar situations or participant groups.	Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates how participants live through and make sense of a specific experience. Rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and extended by Martin Heidegger, it aims to reveal the essential structures of lived experience rather than to measure or predict outcomes. The two most widely applied variants are Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, which seeks universal essences, and Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, which emphasises interpretation within context.
