תקציר	Longitudinal Thematic Analysis (LTA) extends standard thematic analysis to data collected at multiple time points from the same participants or contexts. Rather than producing a single cross-sectional account, LTA maps how themes emerge, persist, transform, or disappear over time, enabling researchers to understand change, continuity, and process in qualitative terms. It is widely used in health, education, and social science research where lived experience unfolds over months or years.	Framework Analysis is a structured qualitative method developed by Jane Ritchie and Liz Spencer at the UK National Centre for Social Research in 1994. It organises qualitative data into a thematic matrix — the analytical framework — enabling systematic comparison across participants and themes. Originally designed for applied policy research with specific questions and timelines, it is now widely used in health services, social policy, and management research where transparency and rigorous cross-case comparison are essential.
