Abstract

This study aims to determine the resilience of early adult women victims of violence in dating relationships. With a qualitative approach, the researcher conducted 1 in-depth interview with as many as 2 subjects who had different backgrounds. The results of the study show that early adult women who are victims of violence in dating relationships experience various forms of violence such as psychological, physical, sexual and economic violence. Even so, both subjects have high resilience skills, even though both subjects received violent treatment from their respective partners, but both were able to bounce back and become better individuals. There are various efforts made by both subjects to recover or rise from the downturn after receiving violent treatment during a dating relationship. Being a resilient individual is certainly inseparable from internal and external support, internal factors are mental strength, self- confidence and the ability to process negative emotions, while external factors are social support from family, friends, and even mental health professionals. The findings of this study provide in-depth insights into how early adult women who are victims of violence in dating relationships are able to bounce back and recover from the trauma experienced. Therefore, it is important to strengthen social support for victims of violence and further increase awareness of resilience as an important resource in the recovery process.
