תקציר	The sequential mixed methods matrix is an integration tool used in sequential mixed methods designs — explanatory (QUAN → qual) or exploratory (qual → QUAN) — to display and synthesize quantitative results and qualitative findings side-by-side in a structured table. Also called a joint display matrix, it makes the process of connecting the two strands of evidence explicit, transparent, and auditable, helping researchers draw meta-inferences that neither strand alone could support.	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.
