“…It is interesting to note that we find Russian speakers are a greater risk of poor sleep quality. This is in line with previous research finding lower levels of resilience in this population (Goodwin et al, 2023), and may also be related to the strengthening of the Ukrainian identity (and therefore of the Ukrainian language) that has taken place in recent years owing to hostilities since 2014 (Arel, 2018;Chayinska et al, 2022;Eras, 2023;Kurapov et al, 2022). Indeed, these difficulties may extend beyond even immediate exposure, because as the psychotherapist Galina Itskovich observed in her patient, notifications of attacks can be transmitted to the mobile phones of Ukrainians even outside of the country.…”

“…Finally, this study was conducted only in Ukrainian, which may have ignored some of the linguistic and cultural complexity of the country (Barrington and Herron, 2004). This is especially important given that recent research has shown that differences in cultural identification (as a speaker of either Ukrainian or Russian) differentially impacts perceptions of national resilience (Goodwin et al, 2023).…”

Armed conflict has negative mental health impacts on internally displaced people and refugees, however, much less is known of its effects upon the mental health of displaced people and refugees with disabilities. We use European data (N=9,679), collected via an internet health needs survey across April-July 2022, to examine the mental health impacts of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine on the mental health of displaced people with disabilities during the first months of the war. Regression models separately examined associations between functional impairment (vision, walking, existing mental health condition), access to healthcare, welfare payments, and anxiety and sleep quality, controlling for a number of sociodemographic variables including preferred language spoken at home, as an indicator of Russian or Ukrainian cultural identity. The presence of pre-existing mental health condition, mobility and vision impairment were each associated with higher levels of anxiety and poorer sleep quality. The ability to access health services and social security payments was also associated with better sleep and lower levels of anxiety. Humanitarian and local authorities must ensure Ukrainian refugees and IDPs are reviewed for their mental health needs, with particular attention to those with known disabilities.

“…The results of this study are generally comparable to the results of Goodwin et al (2023), who collected the data at approximately the same time (April 2022). This is fundamental, taking into account the significant dynamics of war events and their impact on the social stability of the population.…”

A full-scale Russian invasion in Ukraine changes people’s behavior and determines the current person’s resilience/vulnerability in society. This paper aims to estimate individual resilience/vulnerability and its factors in the community during wartime. It used the online survey method based on Google Forms and online focus-group interviews during May-August 2022 at four territorial communities in Kyiv, Lviv, Mykolaiv, and Sumy regions, which geographically represent the whole of Ukraine. A randomly selected 468 respondents were interviewed, including 139 internally displaced persons and refugees and 329 who did not consider themselves in any vulnerable category. The survey shows that according to the “Well-being and baseline status” factor, 66.3% of respondents confirmed an increase in their activity in response to the war.Along with a high level of trust in their family during wartime, indicators of social atomization (broken social ties, isolation of people from each other) are high. Thus, 37.4% of respondents noted that they rely only on themselves and solve their problems independently, without anyone’s help. Using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, it was found that the social resilience of the Ukrainian population is mainly based on individual resilience rather than on the resilience of mechanisms. For almost 50% of the respondents, there are manifestations of atomized sustainability and vulnerability, which increase the likelihood of post-traumatic stress disorder. Therefore, the control over disaster management processes should be based not only on data monitoring but also on training and innovativeness to increase social resilience. AcknowledgmentThis study was funded by a grant “Restructuring of the national economy in the direction of digital transformations for sustainable development” (No. 0121U109557).

“…Another group of studies shows that along with, or as a result of, a radical change in socio-psychological conditions, the population of Ukraine, for the first time within decades, encountered a number of positive phenomena -such as cohesion [7] activation of hidden psychological and social mechanisms of self-regulation [8]; even a certain level of well-being, including psychological, physical, social [9]; various determinants of resilience, both individual and collective [10].…”

This article raises the question of the role of non-formal and hybrid education as a form of personal and social sustainability in the war-time adversity. The authors attempt to estimate the role of the eco-facilitation course as one of the original Ukrainian approaches to psychological assistance. The course was provided to different categories of students (displaced and relocated within Ukrainian borders or with a refugee status in Europe and USA). It was found that experimental training by the method of ecofacilitative teaching contributes to individual and social sustainability in terms of rhythmic development (thesis-antithesis-synthesis). In particular, the changes in pedagogy reflect the logic of their non-directive teaching (ecofacilitation). Ecofacilitation is an educational course aimed at developing skills for sustainable self-development or personal stabilization in conditions of instability and chaos, which closely corresponds to the living conditions of an individual during wartime.
