Ringkasan	Interpretive thematic analysis is a form of thematic analysis conducted from an interpretivist or constructivist epistemological standpoint. Rather than treating themes as residing in the data waiting to be discovered, the researcher actively constructs meaning through their engagement with the data. Built on Braun and Clarke's systematic framework, the interpretive variant foregrounds the researcher's theoretical lens and reflexivity, producing analysis that goes beyond description to explain how social, cultural, or contextual forces shape participants' accounts.	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.
