Rezumat	This design begins with a substantive qualitative phase (QUAL) that drives the study, followed by a smaller quantitative phase (quan) used to test, refine, or extend qualitative findings to a broader sample. The qualitative strand holds priority in both scope and interpretation; the quantitative strand serves a confirmatory or generalisability function. It is particularly well suited when theory or instrument development must be grounded in participants' own frameworks before statistical testing.	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.
