Abstract

This is descriptive, qualitative research
undertaken in a municipal domestic violence shelter service,
in Curitiba, in the Brazilian state of Paraná, with eight women
who were victims of domestic violence. The objectives were
to identify the trajectory of the women’s resilience and to
investigate the factors which predispose to resilience. Data
collection occurred between November 2010 and February
2011, through open interviews which were recorded and
transcribed. The discourses, analyzed using thematic content
analysis, revealed the theme: The strength of maternal love
interrupting the cycle of domestic violence and making the
process of resilience possible. It was evidenced that the
process of resilience was initiated when the children came to
be victims of violence and that staying in the shelter created
the possibility of overcoming what had been experienced
and possibilities for a better future. The women’s
experiences, and the factors of resilience, offer support for
Nursing, making it possible to undertake nursing actions
and care in accordance with the women’s experiences.
