תקציר	Multiple case-based reflexive thematic analysis integrates Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis (RTA) with a multiple case study framework. Qualitative data are collected from two or more bounded cases, RTA is applied within each case to generate case-specific themes, and the themes are then compared and synthesised across cases. The approach preserves the depth and interpretive richness of RTA while enabling cross-case pattern recognition that single-case designs cannot provide.	Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) is a widely used qualitative method for identifying, analysing, and interpreting patterns of shared meaning — called themes — across a dataset. Developed by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke, it is theoretically flexible, works across epistemological positions, and foregrounds the researcher's active, interpretive role rather than treating themes as features that simply emerge from data. It differs from older 'codebook' approaches by treating the analyst's subjectivity as a resource rather than a source of bias to be suppressed.
