Підсумок	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.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
