요약	Longitudinal Reflexive Thematic Analysis (L-RTA) applies Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework to qualitative data collected from the same participants (or context) at two or more time points. Rather than producing a single static account, it tracks how meanings, experiences, and themes evolve, persist, or transform over time, foregrounding the researcher's active reflexive engagement at every stage of the iterative process.	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.
