| Résumé : |
Introduction. The Russian invasion in Ukraine has significantly affected the mental health of the population, leading to increased rates of stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. However, access to mental health support remains limited due to factors like professional shortages, lack of awareness, stigma, and cultural barriers. Comprehensive changes are necessary to address these challenges. Methods : This cross-sectional survey included participants aged 16 and older affected by the war, collected through social media and personal contacts. Data was analyzed descriptively and using correlation analysis.
Results : The majority of respondents rated their mental health as fine or good. Anxiety was the most prevalent emotion, particularly among younger age groups. Different genders and age groups exhibited varying levels of emotions such as fatigue, peace, anger, and sadness. Sleep and appetite problems were common, with differences observed between age and gender groups. Many participants felt self-reproach for not doing enough, and coping mechanisms varied among age groups. Mental health concerns ranked lower than somatic health worries. Stigma and self-stigma surrounding mental health were identified, influencing the intention to seek professional support. Access to professional mental health support and beliefs about it varied, considering language barriers and information availability. A portion of respondents expressed openness to alternative methods and future psychological help, although location and stigma played a role. Conclusion. The war in Ukraine has negatively impacted mental health but has also provided an “open window” for changes in attitudes towards mental health. Urgent measures adapted to peoples beliefs and behaviors are needed, including increased psychological aid, establishment of PTSD centers, specific training of mental health professionals. Digital interventions and education campaigns can reduce stigma and improve access to these services. Long-term efforts should focus on governance decisions, regulations, and mental health awareness in education. While some measures may be postponed until postwar times, it is crucial to initiate fundamental changes now. |
