It is widely known that motherhood implies for the woman a series of changes, from bodily aspects to her social role. So many changes can generate several difficulties and cause very adverse situations. It is understood, therefore, that it is of the utmost importance that this mother has a good capacity for resilience so that she can best manage each of the adverse events that motherhood can bring to her.

On the other hand, in the presence of this feeling, more homogeneous levels of resilience were perceived, having the minimum value very close to the maximum value - 3.3 and 3.4 respectively. In relation to vulnerability, the present study can identify three possible types of negligence that demonstrate these aspects of the motherhood of a child with disabilities: the family income not proportional to the level of education of the mothers, the absence of emotional attention, especially at the moment of diagnosis and the Restriction of access to important information on the disability of children by health professionals. Finally, the absence of public power - with the consequent absence of social protection programs for these families - is emphasized, as well as the lack of studies on this maternity. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out other quantitative studies, with larger samples, and qualitative ones, which could strengthen the hypoth |
