Përmbledhja	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.	Longitudinal narrative research is a qualitative design that follows participants across multiple time points, gathering and analyzing their stories to understand how experiences, identities, and meanings evolve over time. Rooted in Clandinin and Connelly's narrative inquiry tradition, it treats human experience as fundamentally storied and temporal — what matters is not just what happened but how people narrate, revise, and make sense of their lives as circumstances change.
