Проблема посттравматичних захворювань в процесі адаптації українських мігрантів

Abstract

he study focuses on examining the issue of social and psychological adaptation of Ukrainian emigrants, which has become particularly relevant due to the military conflict in Donbas and the war with Russia. The author identifies that as a result of these events and the conflict since February 24, 2024, a significant number of Ukrainians have found themselves in emigration conditions, relocating both within Ukraine and beyond its borders. This situation gives rise to a complex of problems related to adapting to new living conditions, including housing, employment, healthcare, education for children, and many other aspects. The study indicates that the consequences of war have a serious impact on the psychoemotional state of emigrants, including stress, fear, anxiety, and depression, and can also lead to physical illnesses such as psychosomatic disorders. This poses challenges to adaptation and requires the development of psychological approaches and strategies to support individual and collective adaptation of Ukrainian emigrants. While some individuals may experience negative consequences of military action and emigration, feelings of fear and uncertainty, the research also points to the possibility of positive changes. Some individuals, having experienced traumatic situations, may find the strength to overcome difficulties, reassess their values and priorities, and ultimately achieve positive outcomes in the adaptation process. Overall, the study underscores the need for further exploration of this issue and the development of effective strategies for psychological support and adaptation for Ukrainian emigrants facing the consequences of war and emigration.
