خلاصه	Longitudinal narrative research is a qualitative design that follows participants across multiple time points, gathering and analyzing their stories to understand how experiences, identities, and meanings evolve over time. Rooted in Clandinin and Connelly's narrative inquiry tradition, it treats human experience as fundamentally storied and temporal — what matters is not just what happened but how people narrate, revise, and make sense of their lives as circumstances change.	Longitudinal qualitative content analysis (LQCA) applies systematic content analysis to text data gathered from the same participants, settings, or documents at two or more points in time. The method preserves the interpretive rigour of qualitative content analysis while adding an explicit temporal dimension, enabling researchers to track how meanings, experiences, categories, or discourse shift, deepen, or stabilise across time rather than producing a single-point-in-time description.
