สรุป	A longitudinal single case study is a qualitative research design that follows one bounded unit — a person, organization, program, or community — through multiple points in time. Unlike a cross-sectional snapshot, it captures how phenomena develop, shift, or respond to events across months or years, combining the contextual richness of case study methodology with the temporal depth needed to understand process and change.	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.
