Muhtasari	Field-based Reflexive Thematic Analysis (field RTA) integrates ethnographic data collection — participant observation, field notes, and naturalistic interviews — with the epistemologically explicit, researcher-centred analytic framework of Braun and Clarke's Reflexive Thematic Analysis. It is used when themes must be grounded in observed social practice rather than retrospective accounts alone, placing the researcher's active, documented reflexivity at the centre of both data gathering and interpretation.	Narrative analysis is a qualitative research method, synthesised canonically by Catherine Kohler Riessman (2008), that examines how individuals storise their lived experiences and construct meaning through the telling. Drawing on life history, biographical, and narrative inquiry traditions, it treats the story itself — not just its content — as the unit of analysis, attending to temporal sequence, plot structure, and the social context in which a narrative is produced.
