Resumo	Multiple case-based reflexive thematic analysis integrates Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis (RTA) with a multiple case study framework. Qualitative data are collected from two or more bounded cases, RTA is applied within each case to generate case-specific themes, and the themes are then compared and synthesised across cases. The approach preserves the depth and interpretive richness of RTA while enabling cross-case pattern recognition that single-case designs cannot provide.	Narrative analysis is a qualitative research method, synthesised canonically by Catherine Kohler Riessman (2008), that examines how individuals storise their lived experiences and construct meaning through the telling. Drawing on life history, biographical, and narrative inquiry traditions, it treats the story itself — not just its content — as the unit of analysis, attending to temporal sequence, plot structure, and the social context in which a narrative is produced.
