Sammanfattning	Digital Straussian grounded theory applies the systematic, coding-driven approach of Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory to digital data sources such as online forums, social media, chat logs, and digital documents. It retains the Straussian paradigm model and three-stage coding structure — open, axial, and selective — while adapting sampling strategies, theoretical saturation criteria, and ethical protocols to the unique features of online and digital research environments.	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.
