We followed Leininger's which sees thehuman being asa subjectimmerseinanetworkofsocialrelations andinthe midst of a specific context, where such aspects permeate into behavior, i.e. that culture in which the subject believes and lives is part of the care practices. We used the ethnic nursing method proposed by Leininger (1985), with the intent of exploring the meaning of care for the pregnant displaced women and her unborn child, from the ¨¦mic (native perspective), in Bogot¨¢ (sub municipalities of Suba and Ciudad Bol¨ªvar). The participants were displaced people from the Provinces of Tolima, Arauca, Cundinamarca, Caquet¨¢, Bol¨ªvar, Guain¨ªa and Cauca. Their ages varied from 14 to 34 years, and the time of displacement was between two months and a year. Data was gathered via individual and group interviews (twelve participants) and via observation, and we applied Spradley's (1980) ethnographic analysis: domains (categories of meaning that include other minor categories) with the systematic relations, taxonomy (set of categories), component analysis (the search for associated attributes with cultural symbols) and issues (of the highest abstraction level). We obtained theissueofresilienceofhopeinthe midstofthe difficulty of being displaced and pregnant with the sub components of: the loss and abandonment as well as the way forward.
