Characteristics of post-traumatic growth and resilience
(2024) Bodnar, Alla; Shponko, Danylo
This work examines the peculiarities of the stress factors influence on the human psyche, describes the concept of distress according to H. Selye in the context of traumatic events, in particular war, as well as the possible negative consequences of the distress impact on the human psyche. Possible mechanisms of productive human interaction with stress are resilience and post-traumatic growth, the expediency of distinguishing these two concepts is substantiated, despite their common features. Resilience is considered as a characteristic of a person that helps him/her to act effectively in difficult conditions, and post-traumatic growth is a process that is activated afterwards and as a result of excessive stress and is subjectively experienced as a significant change in such areas of the life as the perception of oneself and life path, life philosophy, communication with others. As the empirical study shows, there is some difference between the manifestations of these phenomena within male and female. This issue needs further development.
Common strategies in empirically supported psychological interventions for alcohol use disorders: A meta-review
(2023) Nadkarni, Abhijit; Massazza, Alessandro; Guda, Rahul; Fernandes, Luanna; Garg, Ankur; Jolly, Mehak; Skovgaard Andersen, Lena; Bhatia, Urvita; Bogdanov, Sergiy; Roberts, Bayard; Tol, Wietse; Velleman, Richard; Moore, Quincy; Fuhr, Daniela
Issues: Despite the large number of effective psychological interventions for alcohol use disorders (AUD), there is still a lack of clarity concerning the strategies that make these interventions effective. Approach: The overall goal of this review was to identify, examine and synthesise the information about common strategies from evidence-based psychological interventions for AUDs by conducting a review of systematic reviews, that is, a meta-review. We isolated the relevant primary studies from eligible systematic reviews and extracted information about the interventions from these studies to understand the strategies used. Analysis was restricted to narrative summaries. Key Findings: Thirteen reviews were eligible for inclusion in our meta-review. Of these, eight demonstrated the effectiveness of a range of psychological interventions—behavioural couples therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy combined with motivational interviewing, brief interventions, contingency management, psychotherapy plus brief interventions, Alcoholics Anonymous and 12-step treatment programs, family-therapy or family-involved treatment, and community reinforcement approach. The most commonly used component strategies in effective interventions for AUDs included assessment, personalised feedback, motivational interviewing, goal setting, setting and review of homework, problem solving skills and relapse prevention/management. Implications: Evidence about commonly used strategies in evidence-based psychological interventions for AUDs offer the possibility of creating menu-driven interventions that can be tailored to respond to individual client needs and preferences in different contexts.

(2023) Van Der Boor, Catharina; Moore, Quincy; Andersen, Lena Skovgaard; Koss, Kateryna; Roberts, Bayard; May, Carl; Nadkarni, Abhijit; Bogdanov, Sergiy; Tol, Wietse; Fuhr, Daniela
Objective: To explore the contextual and interpersonal circumstances that influence AUDs in conflict-affected men in Uganda and Ukraine. Specifically, we investigated context-specific explanatory models of AUDs and the differences and similarities between these two settings.
Development and Piloting of a Mental Health Prevention and Referral Program for Veterans and Their Families in Ukraine
(2023) Nguyen, Amanda J.; Russell, Tara; Skavenski, Stephanie; Bogdanov, Sergiy; Lomakina, Kira; Ivaniuk, Iryna; Aldridge, Luke R.; Bolton, Paul; Murray, Laura; Bass, Judy
Background: While growing evidence exists for the effectiveness of mental health interventions in global mental health, the evidence base for psychosocial supports is lacking despite the need for a broader range of supports that span the prevention–treatment continuum and can be integrated into other service systems. Following rigorous evaluation of the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) in Ukraine, this article describes the development and feasibility testing of CETA Psychosocial Support (CPSS), a brief psychosocial prevention and referral program for Ukrainian veterans and their families. CPSS Development: CPSS development used evidence-based CETA intervention components and was informed by a stakeholder needs analysis incorporating feedback from veterans and their families, literature review, and expert consultations. The program includes psychoeducation, cognitive coping skill development, and a self-assessment tool that identifies participants for potential referral. After initial development of the program, the intervention underwent: (1) initial implementation by skilled providers focused on iterative refinement; (2) additional field-testing of the refined intervention by newly trained providers in real-world conditions; and (3) a formal pilot evaluation with collection of pre-post mental health assessments and implementation ratings using locally validated instruments. Results: Fifteen CPSS providers delivered 14 group sessions to 109 participants (55 veterans, 39 family members, and 15 providers from veterans’ service organizations). After incorporating changes related to content, process, and group dynamics, data from the pilot evaluation suggest the refined CPSS program is an acceptable and potentially effective brief psychosocial prevention and promotion program that can be implemented by trained veteran providers. Forty percent of participants required safety or referral follow-ups. Conclusion: The iterative, inclusive development process resulted in an appropriate program with content and implementation strategies tailored to Ukrainian veterans and their families. Brief psychosocial programs can fit within a larger multitiered mental health and psychosocial continuum of care that supports further referral.
Development of a non-specialist worker delivered psychological intervention to address alcohol use disorders and psychological distress among conflict-affected populations in Uganda and Ukraine
(2025) Nadkarni, Abhijit; Massazza, Alessandro; Tol, Wietse A.; Bogdanov, Sergiy; Andersen, Lena; Moore, Quincy; Roberts, Bayard; Weiss, Helen; Singh, Soumya; Neuman, Melissa; May, Carl; Fuhr, Daniela
Background. Despite the significant burden of alcohol use disorders (AUD), there is a large treatment gap, especially in settings and populations affected by armed conflict. A key barrier to care is the lack of contextually relevant interventions and adequately skilled human resources to deliver them. This paper describes the systematic development of the CHANGE intervention, a potentially scalable psychological intervention for people with co-existing AUD and psychological distress in conflict-affected populations, delivered by non-specialist workers (NSWs). Methods. CHANGE was developed in sequential steps: (1) identifying potential treatment strategies through a metareview and Delphi survey with international experts; (2) in-depth interviews (IDIs) with key stakeholders from the study settings in Uganda and Ukraine; and (3) three consultative workshops with international experts and experts from Uganda and Ukraine to develop a theoretical framework for the intervention informed by outputs of the Delphi and IDIs. Results. In the Delphi survey, experts reached agreement on the acceptability, feasibility and potential effectiveness of the following components: identify high-risk situations, problem solving skills, assessment, handling drinking urges, communication skills, pros and cons of drinking, and identifying high-risk situations. From the IDIs we identified (a) causal attributions for using alcohol e.g., psychosocial stressors; (b) cultural norms related to alcohol consumption such as patriarchal stereotypes; and (c) coping strategies to deal with drinking problems such as distraction. The CHANGE intervention developed through the consultative workshops can be delivered in three sequential phases focussed on assessment, feedback, and information (Phase 1); providing the client with need-based skills for dealing with high-risk situations related to alcohol use (Phase 2), and relapse prevention and management (Phase 3). Conclusions CHANGE is a contextually relevant and potentially scalable treatment for co-existing AUD and psychological distress to be delivered by NSWs to conflict-affected populations. Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of CHANGE will be tested in Uganda and Ukraine.

Explanatory models and coping with alcohol misuse among conflict-affected men in Ukraine
(2025) Bogdanov, Sergiy; Koss, Kateryna; Hook, Kimberly; Moore, Quincy; Van Der Boor, Catharina; Massazza, Alessandro; Fuhr, Daniela; Roberts, Bayard; May, Carl; Fedorets, Olha; Bayer, Oxana; Karachevskyy, Andrii; Nadkarni, Abhijit
Affecting nearly 10% of men globally, alcohol use disorders (AUDs) represent a significant public health burden. Existing work, including from Ukraine, suggests that living in conflict settings may exacerbate the risk of AUDs. However, there is a dearth of evidence regarding alcohol misuse, as well as knowledge of factors associated with alcohol misuse patterns, in conflict settings. The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate explanatory models of alcohol misuse among conflict-affected men in Ukraine. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to recruit 66 conflict-affected men with alcohol misuse, family members of men who misuse alcohol, community health workers, and mental health and psychosocial support providers from locations across Ukraine. In the group of men who misuse alcohol (n = 25), we recruited individuals with diverse experiences of adversity: 1) internally displaced persons from eastern Ukraine and Crimea displaced after 2014; 2) Ukrainian military veterans or territorial defense volunteers from various regions; and 3) men living 5–15 km from the frontline. Semistructured interviews were conducted in Ukrainian or Russian, and analysed using deductive and inductive analysis. Qualitative data received from each subgroup were analysed separately. The resulting explanatory model represents how Ukrainian conflict-affected men describe causes of alcohol misuse. Participants identified that alcohol misuse among Ukrainian men is often used as "self-treatment" to address mental health symptoms and feelings of demoralization that are exacerbated by a lack of supportive social environments and socioeconomic problems; these behaviours also occur in an environment that deems alcohol misuse to be culturally appropriate. Family members and service providers offered a similar understanding of alcohol misuse as the men themselves. Strategies suggested by conflict-affected men to protect against alcohol misuse included engaging in alternative activities, finding supportive social environments, fear of negative consequences from alcohol misuse and increasing self-awareness and self-control. These findings indicate possible implications for interventions that target alcohol misuse among conflict-affected men, as well as demonstrate a need for developing culturally sensitive interventions that can address this unaddressed public health need.

Impact of stressors of academic activities under martial law on the cadets' mental health
(2025) Martenko, Yuliia; Malyshenko, Yevgen; Bushai, Igor; Rivchachenko, Olena; Shcherbakova, Iryna; Mirshuk, Oleksii; Okhrimenko, Ivan
The aim is to investigate the mental health indicators of cadets during their stressful academic training under martial law. Materials and Methods: The research, which was conducted in the academic year 2023-2024, involved 253 male cadets of the 1st-4th training years at the National Academy of Internal Affairs (Kyiv, Ukraine). Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources, mental health testing, and methods of mathematical statistics. Seven psycho-diagnostic methods were used to test the cadets’ mental health. Results: The results obtained indicate a pronounced negative impact of stressors of academic activities under martial law on the cadets’ mental health and, in particular, on the level of manifestation of stress disorders, a tendency to develop stress, reduced stress resistance, increased nervous and emotional stress, anxiety, and deterioration of the emotional state. The most pronounced negative changes in these indicators of mental health were found in cadets who have not developed skills to cope with stress during academic activities and the use of effective means of stress prevention and restoration of psycho-emotional state (junior cadets). Conclusions: The research demonstrates the urgent need to develop cadets’ stress resistance during academic training to ensure the effectiveness of their educational activities under martial law and further service activities, as well as to develop skills in the use of available means to prevent stressful phenomena in the process of education during the war.

Lastly, the article provides methodological recommendations for enhancing the level of subjective well-being by tapping into students' internal resources.
Meeting the long-term health needs of Ukrainian refugees
(2023) Murphy, Adrianna; Bartovic, Jozef; Bogdanov, Sergiy; Bozorgmehr, Kayvan; Gheorgita, Stela; Habicht, Triin; Richardson, Erica; Azzopardi-Muscat, Natasha; McKee, Martin
Objectives: Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, millions of people have fled the country. Most people have gone to the neighbouring countries of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova. This vulnerable population has significant healthcare needs. Among the most challenging to address will be chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including mental disorders, as these require long-term, continuous care and access to medicines. Host country health systems are faced with the challenge of ensuring accessible and affordable care for NCDs and mental disorders to this population. Our objectives were to review host country health system experiences and identify priorities for research to inform sustainable health system responses to the health care needs of refugees from Ukraine. Study Design: In-person conference workshop. Methods: A workshop on this subject was held in November 2022 at the European Public Health Conference in Berlin. Results: The workshop included participants from academia and non-governmental organisations, health practitioners, and World Health Organisation regional and country offices. This short communication reports the main conclusions from the workshop. Conclusion: Addressing the challenges and research priorities identified will require international solidarity and co-operation.
Project: Safe Space: comprehensive psychosocial support to war-affected Ukrainian schools : research report
(2023) Bogdanov, Sergiy; Harbar, Kateryna; Bychko, Hanna
The "Safe Space" is a comprehensive psychosocial program, specifically aimed at enhancing the resilience of schoolchildren in the aftermath of traumatic events. Its multifaceted approach includes components directed at both children and their immediate social environment, involving parents and teachers. The Safe Space programme has a multi-level structure. This ensures that support is provided to everyone involved at different stages of implementation. Recognizing the dynamic nature of trauma response, the program allows for the integration of new research and methodologies, continuously evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of the community it serves. The model includes training teachers on resilience strengthening at the first level and training school psychologists in the 7-session group intervention with students at second level. Within educational institutions, the program is executed by school psychologists and teachers, who undergo specialized training in Safe Space methodology. Training for psychologists includes 3 days of didactics followed by weekly supervisions. Certification can succeed after conducting at list 2 children’s groups under supervision. Teacher’s training includes 1 day of didactic in the class room followed by 2 monthly online supervisions. Due to the security reasons caused by war all didactically trainings for teachers and school psychologists have happened in online format only.

Stress and resilience of Ukrainian employees during the Russian-Ukrainian war
(Asanger Verlag, 2024) Morozova, Olga; Trimpop, Rüdiger; Chernobrovkin, Volodymyr
Resilience, the ability to bounce back from adversity and maintain psychological wellbeing in the face of challenging circumstances, has become a topic of growing importance in the context of prolonged conflicts and crises. The Russian-Ukrainian war has inflicted a multitude of internal and external predicaments upon the Ukrainian population, including the nation's workforce. In such an environment, understanding the resilience level of Ukrainian employees and their coping mechanisms is not only academically significant but also holds practical implications for the well-being and productivity of Ukrainian population. In this context, the well-established Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), developed by Connor and Davidson (2003), becomes a corresponding instrument for assessing individual resilience, offering potential insights into the resilience level of Ukrainian employees during the ongoing conflict. The impact of war extends beyond the battlefield, profoundly influencing working conditions and the broader work environment. Scholars such as Hobfoll (2001) have emphasized the importance of considering the ecological context when studying the effects of stressors, particularly in times of conflict. Therefore, a comprehensive examination of the working environment is essential in understanding how war circumstances have affected Ukrainian employees. Moreover, the influence of the ongoing conflict on individuals' well-being and the workplace cannot be fully assessed without evaluating the support mechanisms provided by organizations. Masten (2014) has stressed the significance of social support in fostering resilience. Therefore, an evaluation of organizations' financial assistance, psychological support initiatives, and special programs aimed at mitigating the stressors resulting from the war becomes integral to this inquiry. This study aims to contribute systematically by assessing resilience level, exploring the war's impact on the working environment, evaluating organizational support, and analyzing coping mechanisms, fostering resilience for both individuals and the nation's recovery.

Детермінанти продуктивної діяльності студентів в умовах онлайн навчання
(2024) Гордієнко, Арсеній
У статті розглядаються особливості продуктивної діяльності студентів в умовах онлайн-навчання, наводяться результати емпіричного дослідження, пояснюються детермінанти продуктивної діяльності та окреслюється феноменологія активності студентів в освітньому онлайн-процесі (продуктивні стратегії діяльності, контрпродуктивні стратегії поведінки, подієвість, комунікативні обгортки освітнього процесу в кіберпросторі). Основу продуктивної діяльності та творчих досягнень студентів становлять когнітивні детермінанти (метакогнітивні стратегії, базові когнітивні інструменти, інсайтність), мотиваційно-особистісні детермінанти (концепція особистісної неповторності, біографічна та діяльнісна рефлексія), соціально-психологічні детермінанти (базова модель стосунків та комунікативний світ). Найкращі практики для онлайн-викладання та залучення студентів: методології активного навчання, орієнтовані на студента, загальний збагачений досвід навчання, групові проекти, оцінювання за допомогою різноманітних методів, залучений викладач, часте спілкування та персоналізація спілкування. Під час планування онлайн-курсів викладачам важливо враховувати очікування та особливі потреби своїх студентів. Викладачі повинні створити середовище, яке сприяє взаємодії, співпраці та творчій продуктивній поведінці. Студенти більш продуктивні та задоволені, якщо їх оцінювати різноманітними методами. Соціальна взаємодія, в тому числі викладач-студент і студент-студент, визначена як ключова корисна стратегія онлайн-навчання. Важливим компонентом онлайн-навчання є те, що викладачі забезпечують безперервне та змістовне персоналізоване спілкування та дають студентам реальну основу для їх продуктивної діяльності. Залучення викладача сприяє залученню студентів до продуктивної діяльності. Застосування цих передових практик допоможе гарантувати, що студенти залишатимуться в онлайн залученими та матимуть позитивний натхненний досвід для майбутньої професійної діяльності.
