Muhtasari	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.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
