Resumen	Longitudinal Straussian Grounded Theory applies the systematic coding procedures of Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory — open, axial, and selective coding — to data gathered across multiple time points. Rather than producing a static snapshot of a social phenomenon, it tracks how processes, identities, or conditions evolve, generating a substantive theory grounded in change over time. It is particularly powerful for studying social processes that unfold across months or years.	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.
