Sammanfattning	Interpretive grounded theory is a qualitative methodology that builds substantive theory inductively from data while working from an interpretivist epistemological stance. Developed most fully by Kathy Charmaz, it holds that researcher and participant co-construct meaning, that categories are created rather than discovered, and that the resulting theory is one plausible account among others rather than an objective rendering of social reality.	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.
