Sammendrag	Multiple case-based phenomenology combines the bounded, comparative logic of multiple case study design with the lived-experience focus of phenomenological inquiry. The researcher selects two or more distinct cases — individuals, sites, or groups — who share the same target phenomenon, conducts phenomenological analysis within each case, and then synthesises findings across cases to identify both shared essential structures and case-specific variations. The result is richer and more transferable than a single-case phenomenological study while remaining grounded in the depth that phenomenology demands.	Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates how participants live through and make sense of a specific experience. Rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and extended by Martin Heidegger, it aims to reveal the essential structures of lived experience rather than to measure or predict outcomes. The two most widely applied variants are Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, which seeks universal essences, and Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, which emphasises interpretation within context.
