Abstract

The resilience is a complex phenomenon that develops gradually and cumulatively since the early stages of development and it’s deeply influenced by the personal characteristics of the human being in development, his family, the environment in which they live and the condition of mutual influences established. This study aimed to understand how women caregivers of children with cerebral palsy develop resilience. We conducted this research by a qualitative approach, given the nature of the subject matter, which is to understand how women caregivers of children with cerebral paralysis develop the resilience under the framework of Hermeneutics dialectical as a method. The participants of this study were sixteen adult women, mothers of children with cerebral paralysis, accompanied by a health institution in the city of Fortaleza-CE. The data’s collection was carried out in the semi-structured interview technique. Proceeded to the analysis of the data in the light of dialectical hermeneutics. The results show that the condition of being resilient is initiated when these mothers by the impact of the diagnosis of cerebral paralysis, develop reframing capacity of adversity that were presented to them. We conclude this work, that this potential is called resilience atreside in search of these women go beyond the development of the basic needs for their survival and these children. They can, through the pain of their son's diagnosis with cerebral paralysis, get lost on first contact, but then they are touched in feeling and perceiving the world. With their sensations and perceptions to the new world, there is an awakening to listen and repeat only what adds them significantly, whether inside or outside the family experiences, entailing thus a future full of expectations and overcoming desires.
