Within-case and across-case approach in the data analysis process
Case study research has sometimes been criticized for lacking scientific rigour and providing little basis for generalization (Crowe et al., 2011 ; Hammersley et al., 2000 ; Kyburz-Graber, 2004 ). Although Stake ( 1995 ) argues that the purpose of case study research is particularization, not a generalization, the goal of researchers who are doing multiple case research is not only an in-depth understanding of particular cases but willingness to provide findings that could be applied to other similar contexts.
Considering that generalizability due to a small sample size could be a problem, qualitative researchers instead speak about qualitative generalization or transferability as one of the trustworthiness criteria (Anney, 2014 ; Levitt, 2021 ; Maxwell, 2021 ). Qualitative generalization or transferability means that findings are described in a thick way or in such detail that readers can see both constancy and variation within a phenomenon and transfer data from the study to their own context (Levitt, 2021 ). The researcher must provide enough information on the meanings, contexts, and processes operating in the study setting or population that the reader can adequately judge (Maxwell, 2021 ).
To ensure that findings are reported widely and transparently enough, in the beginning, the researcher should create a system of how he/she will integrate all data analysis methods and notice common elements in a rich material of data, gathered from individual cases.
In our research, we applied within-case and across-case analysis, described by Lyoness Ayres et al. (Ayres et al., 2003 ) as an approach that helps to achieve qualitative generalization and find a balance between uniqueness and differences from one side and commonalities from the other. Across-case analysis means looking for common themes in all accounts, within-case analysis means in-depth exploration of a single account, considering contextual richness. In multiple case studies, integration of across-case, and within-case analysis is often used (Banerjee & Dixit, 2016 ; Chung, 2019 ; Fearon et al., 2021 ; Glette & Wiig, 2022 ; Starks et al., 2010 ), because it allows producing contextually grounded, generalizable findings (Ayres et al., 2003 ).
Within-case methods are less useful in the development of generalizations about the experience of health and disease drawn from multiple cases, but they provide contextual richness. Neither across-case nor within-case approaches alone enable the researcher to interpret an experience both through its parts and as a whole so that readers can recognize individual experiences in a generalizable way (Ayres et al., 2003 ).
For example, if we look only at cases and analyse common themes, we could find several controversial themes, such as denial of the disease and acceptance of the disease. But if we look at the cases and each person’s story as a whole, we can see that in the first months after diagnosis the person can deny the disease and avoid talking about health problems, but after a while, the disease could become part of his daily life.
The within-case and across-case approach also allows for the investigation of situations where most of the cases have similarities, but some cases differ from others. Looking across and within cases, we can identify possible factors that could influence these differences (past experience, social factors, thinking patterns, religiosity, etc.). For example, if we analyse the acceptance process, we can see that most patients have accepted their condition, but in some cases, the participants do not accept the fact that they will have to live with this diagnosis for the rest of their lives. By examining these diverse cases in more detail, we can see that these people believe in God’s healing.
By combining the within-case and across-case approach, we could find a balance between generalization and an in-depth understanding of the experience of resilience while living with chronic pain.
Conclusions
The purpose of this paper was to describe the decision-making chain of a qualitative research process and, specifically, to discuss how the integration of several methods of data collection and analysis can improve a deeper understanding of the formation and maintenance of resilience among people with CMP.
Although qualitative researchers have many methodological freedoms, sometimes this freedom can become a pitfall. If a researcher lacks tacit knowledge of different approaches and their theoretical basis, he/she may choose methods that are inconsistent with each other or inappropriate for answering the research questions. In this paper, we provide an example of how to avoid these pitfalls. We briefly describe each step we were doing and provide transparency for the readers so that they can follow the analysis process.
At the beginning, we formulated the research question: What is the experience of developing and maintaining resilience in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP)?
Considering that resilience can be understood differently in different contexts and that we can explore only subjective interpretations of resilience, but not resilience as such, we decided to ground our research on the paradigm of social constructivism. A fundamental assumption of the social constructivism paradigm is that meanings, knowledge, and truth are created by the interactions of individuals within a society.
When we had chosen the paradigm or perspective of how we will look at the experience of resilience, we decided to use a qualitative research strategy that is more appropriate for studying subjective constructs, such as experiences, feelings, and attitudes at different stages of life and in specific situations. This article approves that the qualitative research strategy can provide a significant contribution to health psychology. It allows analysing of complex constructs and helps not only to identify the problem but also to reveal the causality and influence of various factors on the situation.
The next step was to choose a research design. Since we were interested not only in the unique resilience experience of each participant but also wanted to know if people with chronic pain have used similar strategies to adapt to the disease, we concluded that multiple case study designs will allow us to analyse within each setting and between settings.
In this paper, we have provided arguments on how a multimethod approach can promote research rigour. We combined two data collection methods, semi-structured interviews and focus groups. Semi-structured interviews gave us rich material of data and allowed us to answer concrete subquestions but focus group discussions were a supplementary method for getting feedback from participants and clarifying our interpretations.
We also described the process of determining the sample size. The decision to stop data collection after 17 interviews were based on several considerations. We got enough information to answer the research question and reached code and meaning saturation.
The data analysis process is the most time-consuming part of qualitative research, especially if researchers have chosen a pluralistic data analysis approach and interpreted an interview transcript with different qualitative analysis techniques. In this paper, we argue why it is worth doing it. Analysing the same data from different analytical lenses can enhance a deeper understanding of the construct, reveal more meanings, and give a holistic understanding compared to analysing these data from only one analytical lens.
It is very important to conduct pilot interviews to see if the chosen data analysis method can provide answers to the research questions. At the beginning of our research, we considered that in our study thematic analysis could be the best data analysis method to find the most common strategies. However, after conducting the first pilot interviews, we were surprised by how rich the data was. Participants shared the dynamics of their experience while living with chronic pain, as well as information about events that dramatically changed their attitudes and resilience. We came to the conclusion that we must revise the interview protocol and include more questions and additional data analysis methods.
Finally, we decided to combine three methods, thematic analysis, narrative analysis, and CIT. The thematic analysis allowed us to find common themes between cases, narrative analysis was more appropriate for analysing differences in cases and describing the dynamics of individual narratives in their unique context, while the critical incident technique was valuable for defining critical incidents or experiences that made a contribution, either positively or negatively, to resilience.
To find a balance between uniqueness and differences, on the one hand, and commonalities, on the other hand, we applied within-case and across-case approach in the data analysis process. This allowed us to explain controversial topics and identify possible factors that could influence differences between cases, as well as give contextual richness.
The decision-making chain described in this article can serve as an example for qualitative researchers interested in health research, especially those who study lived experiences of resilience or other constructs in its dynamics and unique context, like dynamics of health behaviour, changes in professional health, self-regulation in the context of chronic diseases etc.
It’s important to justify and make transparent every decision during the process of qualitative research not only because it increases the quality of the research in the eyes of other researchers, but also because it helps to convince policymakers and stakeholders that qualitative research just like quantitative research could be well-grounded and can give a significant contribution to society. To engage in dialogue with decision-makers and wider society, findings should be presented in an easily understandable way by putting an emphasis on practical solutions this research can promote. The strength of this paper is the strong connection between theory and practice. Examples of specific studies can be helpful to better understand the theoretical assumptions and recommendations. The limitation of this study is the small sample size and heterogeneity of participants who have different kinds of musculoskeletal pain, such as back pain, joint pain, or spastic pain. For further studies, it would be valuable to analyse the results in different subgroups of participants to see whether strategies to improve resilience differ depending on the severity of the disease and the type of pain.

Simply put, narrative analysis is a qualitative analysis method focused on interpreting human experiences and motivations by looking closely at the stories (the narratives) people tell in a particular context. In other words, a narrative analysis interprets long-form participant responses or written stories as data, to uncover themes and meanings.
A narrative analysis draws from a larger amount of data surrounding the entire narrative, including the thoughts that led up to a decision and the personal conclusion of the research participant. A case study, therefore, is any specific topic studied in depth, whereas narrative analysis explores single or multi-faceted experiences across time.
interviews in phenomenology, multiple forms in case study research to provide the in-depth case picture). At the data analysis stage, the differences are most pronounced. Not only is the distinction one of specificity of the analysis phase (e.g., grounded the-ory most specific, narrative research less defined) but the number of steps to be under-
Unlike case study or ethnography, when researchers use a narrative approach, they are focused on the participants' stories. Liamputtong (2009) outlines five steps for conducting data analysis within the narrative approach (this type of analysis is referred to as narrative analysis), and it primarily deals with data collected from a narrative ...
Narrative inquiry is carried out in terms of two paradigm-specific criteria, either an interpretative or a critical paradigmatic position in exploring and understanding the ways people construct meaning of their experiences in social contexts with emphasis on the dialectic stance between the researcher and participants that aims to reach deep insights (Ravenek & Laliberte Rudman, 2013).
a sample narrative analysis. Narrative analysis is a method with a particular history and epistemology, and it is designed to answer certain types of research questions. As part of the growing recognition of the value and legitimacy of qualitative inquiry in psychology, narrative analysis is becoming increasingly articulated and refined.
Types of Narrative Studies One approach to narrative research is to differentiate types of narrative research by the analytic strategies used by authors. Polkinghorne (1995) takes this approach and distinguishes between "analysis of narratives" (p. 12), using paradigm thinking to create descriptions of themes that hold
This article will describe the first author's experience of engaging with case study and narrative inquiry as merged methodological frameworks as applied to a doctoral study entitled: A case study of professional role transition for occupational therapists in specialised education in post-apartheid South Africa: A critical narrative perspective. ...
11.2 Criteria for Case Selection . The analytic narrative approach combines a commitment to rational choice, a deep interest in a particular case, a method for devising a generalizable model of the case, and a means of providing empirical evidence, even in unique cases.. The combination also entails an aim most area specialists lack: to go beyond detailing the case to elaborate more general ...
In the case of narrative analysis studies, however, it seems reasonable to place the burden of addressing research questions on the narrative, especially where there is a claim that the narrative is a product of analysis and it occupies a considerable proportion of the space in the published work. This criterion might be applied by both author ...
Narrative analysis is a qualitative research methodology that involves examining and interpreting the stories or narratives people tell in order to gain insights into the meanings, experiences, and perspectives that underlie them. Narrative analysis can be applied to various forms of communication, including written texts, oral interviews, and ...
They found that case study, ethnography, and narrative inquiry were the most common approaches, and interviews and observations were the most common data collection methods. ... On the one hand, Benson acknowledges that many narrative analysis studies often include this additional researcher's commentary, perhaps because narrative writing may ...
Narrative analysis can be applied to cases used for pedagogy and theory building in the social sciences. Case narratives are sensory representations derived from oral, document, or observational sources (including dramaturgical gestures, décor, or architecture). Download Free PDF. View PDF.
We use a case study from a whole-community intervention trial to illustrate how we are using these methods. The results of the analysis are not presented here. Narrative, storytelling and program evaluation. Narrative inquiry has a long, strong and contested tradition.

A case study is one of the most commonly used methodologies of social research. This article attempts to look into the various dimensions of a case study research strategy, the different epistemological strands which determine the particular case study type and approach adopted in the field, discusses the factors which can enhance the effectiveness of a case study research, and the debate ...
Narrative analysis, like many qual methods, takes a set of data like interviews and reduces it to abstract findings. The difference is that while many popular qualitative methods aim to reduce interviews to a set of core themes or findings, narrative analysis aims to reduce interviews to a set of core narratives.
A narrative case-study approach has been employed to delve deeply into a single case, with the objective of examining the human experience within its broader context and surroundings (Thyer, 2001).
ABSTRACT. Narrative case studies tell the story of therapy from the point of view of the client or therapist. Murase's (2015) case of "Mr. R" provides a powerful example of the potential of this form of case inquiry, as a means of enabling reflection and deeper understanding around the practice and process of therapy.
What are the main challenges of performing case studies synthesis? 4.1 Comparison of Results from Methods of Synthesis. For the purpose of this paper three of the most relevant methods are compared: thematic synthesis, cross-case analysis, and narrative synthesis. This comparison is performed based on a worked example as shown in the previous ...
Narrative analysis is a form of qualitative research in which the researcher focuses on a topic and analyzes the data collected from case studies, surveys, observations or other similar methods. The researchers write their findings, then review and analyze them. To conduct narrative analysis, researchers must understand the background, setting ...
The narrative turn (Polkinghorne cited in Goodson & Gill, 2011) is a term used primarily in literary studies, social, and human sciences and expresses a shift toward legitimizing peoples' stories as important sources of empirical knowledge (Hyvarinen, 2010).Although it is difficult to articulate an exact time frame, the turn toward narrative can be situated within the "science wars" of ...
A narrative case study is a story of a real life problem or situation that provides sufficient background data so that the problem can be analyzed and solved. A good case study is written in the form of a story. It has a problem for the readers to solve. It has characters who have names and use authentic dialogue.
After identifying central themes with TA, we assumed the narrative analysis of each case. Just like thematic analysis, narrative analysis is an umbrella term, not a single method. ...
