    Coping strategies are psychological resources that people use to deal with stressful situations. Women victims of violence often lack these strategies, which negatively affects their physical, psychological and social well-being. Faced with this problem, the present study aimed to describe the coping strategies according to the sociodemographic variables (age, marital status and level of education) used by users of the Institute of Criminology, Criminalistics and Psychosocial Family Intervention of the University of Cuenca, Ecuador, during the period 2019-2024. The research was developed under a quantitative, non-experimental approach, with a descriptive and cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 70 women who attended the institute. The Coping Strategies Inventory for Adults (CRI-A), a sociodemographic form and a review of records were used as data collection tools. The results showed that logical analysis was the predominant strategy among women victims of domestic violence. Regarding sociodemographic characteristics: Single, married, unmarried and divorced women tend to use alternative reward-seeking strategies. On the other hand, those with a fourth level of education prefer problem-solving, while those with an incomplete bachelor's degree resort to strategies more oriented towards reward-seeking. The age range of the women was between 18 and 64 years. It was concluded that most women victims of domestic violence tend to use problem-focused coping strategies, many of which are considered maladaptive, which limit their ability to effectively overcome stressful situations. This finding highlights the importance of designing psychosocial interventions that promote adaptive strategies to improve their overall well-being.
