A recent study conducted by researchers at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in Ukraine aimed to assess the psychological well-being of Ukrainian university students three months after the onset of a full-scale war. The study involved 1,142 participants who were asked to rate their psychological well-being before and after the war on a scale of 0-10. The results showed that a significant number of students experienced symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, sleep problems, alcohol abuse, and eating disorders. The severity of these symptoms varied based on factors such as gender, year of study, and social status. The study also found that lower initial psychological well-being, female gender, younger age, first years of study, and traumatic experiences were predictors of increased depression scores. The research highlights the high prevalence of mental health symptoms among university students in Ukraine during the early stages of the war. [Extracted from the article] |
