Sammanfattning	Interpretive Straussian grounded theory combines the systematic coding procedures developed by Anselm Strauss and Juliet Corbin with an interpretivist epistemological stance. It uses open, axial, and selective coding — structured around a paradigm model of conditions, actions, and consequences — to inductively build a substantive theory from qualitative data, while acknowledging that the researcher actively constructs meaning rather than discovering pre-existing facts.	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.
