תקציר	Multiple case-based hermeneutic phenomenology combines the interpretive depth of van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenology with the structured cross-case logic of multiple-case study design. Each case — a bounded individual, group, or site — is analysed for the lived meaning of a shared phenomenon; findings are then compared across cases to reveal both unique contextual textures and common hermeneutic themes. The approach is favoured when context shapes experience in ways that a single case cannot fully illuminate.	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.
