Підсумок	Longitudinal qualitative content analysis (LQCA) applies systematic content analysis to text data gathered from the same participants, settings, or documents at two or more points in time. The method preserves the interpretive rigour of qualitative content analysis while adding an explicit temporal dimension, enabling researchers to track how meanings, experiences, categories, or discourse shift, deepen, or stabilise across time rather than producing a single-point-in-time description.	Framework Analysis is a structured qualitative method developed by Jane Ritchie and Liz Spencer at the UK National Centre for Social Research in 1994. It organises qualitative data into a thematic matrix — the analytical framework — enabling systematic comparison across participants and themes. Originally designed for applied policy research with specific questions and timelines, it is now widely used in health services, social policy, and management research where transparency and rigorous cross-case comparison are essential.	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.
