Sintesi	Participatory Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (Participatory IPA) merges the interpretive, meaning-focused rigour of IPA with participatory research principles, engaging participants as active co-researchers in the design, data collection, and analytic phases. The approach is especially valued in studies involving marginalised or vulnerable groups — such as people with cognitive impairments, chronic illness, or lived experience of social exclusion — where standard interview protocols may silence rather than amplify participant voice.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
