สรุป	Interpretive Reflexive Thematic Analysis applies Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework explicitly within an interpretivist epistemological stance. The analyst treats meaning as co-constructed between researcher and data, foregrounds their own subjective positionality throughout the coding and theming process, and produces theoretically rich accounts of participant perspectives rather than surface-level content summaries. It is among the most widely used analytical approaches in contemporary qualitative research.	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.
