DescriptionThere is a limited understanding in the literature about the elopement process from DMST from survivors. The multiple case study design was used to illuminate the subjective experience of four females’ survivors who endured sex trafficking during adolescence to gain a better understanding of the barriers that prevented their elopement and factors that allowed them to elope their trafficking situation. The qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews and elicited texts. The thematic analysis identified: One major theme, ‘Out of the War’, two related themes, ‘The War’ and ‘Conquering the War’. The first related theme ‘The War’ had two sub-themes ‘Seeking Safety’ and ‘Barriers to Elope’. The second related theme ‘Conquering the War’ had two sub-themes ‘Readiness to Elope’ and ‘Elopement Victory’.

Results from the multiple case study design uniquely positioned the voices of survivors as experts in expanding knowledge about the elopement process. The results revealed a non-linear process, a Maze, not explored in the literature before. The maze illustrates the elopement process as experienced by the survivors. The maze affords a deeper look to the effects of the barriers to elope for knowledge development in nursing practice, policy, and research and provides insights for a future assessment tool measuring readiness to elope
