Mental health, psychological wellbeing, and coping with stress by Ukrainian war refugees staying in Poland
The findings underscore the critical need for comprehensive, evidence-based mental health interventions and accessible psychosocial support for Ukrainian refugees. The results indicate the modifiable post-migration factors important for refugee adaptation. Policy priorities should include early mental health screening targeting younger adults and unpartnered individuals, facilitation of skills-matched employment, provision of clear information about legal rights and available services, and culturally sensitive interventions that promote adaptive coping mechanisms.
