Muhtasari	Multiple case-based hermeneutic phenomenology combines the interpretive depth of van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenology with the structured cross-case logic of multiple-case study design. Each case — a bounded individual, group, or site — is analysed for the lived meaning of a shared phenomenon; findings are then compared across cases to reveal both unique contextual textures and common hermeneutic themes. The approach is favoured when context shapes experience in ways that a single case cannot fully illuminate.	Hermeneutic phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates the interpreted meaning of lived experience from within the existential conditions that shape it. Rooted in Heidegger's ontology and developed as an empirical method by Max van Manen, it does not seek to bracket or suspend the researcher's understanding but instead treats that understanding as the very medium through which the meaning of experience can be disclosed. The approach is widely used in education, nursing, and social sciences to explore how people dwell in, and make sense of, their world.
