The study aims to identify and compare psychological distress, resilience, and coping strategies among Ukrainian war refugees in seven European countries and Ukraine.
Conducted a cross-sectional online survey among 1,631 Ukrainian adults in host countries and Ukraine.
Assessed psychological distress using multiple validated tools including RHS-15 and HSCL-25.
Measured resilience with the Resilience Scale (RS-25) and coping strategies using the COPE Inventory (COPE-60).
Performed one-way ANOVA to analyze differences across countries.
Significant differences in psychological distress were found, with the highest distress reported in Slovenia, Ukraine, Portugal, Spain, and Germany.
Resilience levels varied significantly, with the highest in Poland and Germany, and lowest in Spain.
Adaptive coping strategies were most used in Poland, Germany, and Slovenia, while least in Cyprus and Serbia.
