War’s unseen wounds: Physical proximity to the war, event centrality, and PTSD symptoms in the context of Russian–Ukrainian armed conflict: A moderating model.

The present study investigated the factors associated with posttraumatic stress manifestations among the civilian population in the proximity of the war between Russia and Ukraine, which commenced on February 24, 2022. We aimed to test the moderating role of proximity to the war on the relationships between event centrality and intrusion, avoidance, and hyperarousal.
