Психологічний стан вагітних під час війни в Україні та вимушеної міграції

The article presents a review analysis of domestic and foreign scientific research regarding the impact of war on the psychological health of pregnant women, including internally displaced persons in Ukraine and refugee women to neighboring European countries.Results of modern research indicate that any upheavals, anxiety states, external stress factors, or other negative emotions intensify their influence on both the mother’s organism and her future child. In today’s realities, one of the main stress factors for Ukrainian women has become the war, and this can have consequences for two generations at once – both for the mother and for the child. Due to experienced trauma, loss of loved ones, forced migration, and constant fear for their own lives and the lives of relatives, pregnant women have a high risk of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The ongoing war in Ukraine has drawn the attention of European countries to numerous and diverse consequences, including the migration and economic crisis. It is displaced pregnant women who, according to systematic reviews and meta-analyses, are at an extremely high risk of psychological disorders.The issue of the impact of the war in Ukraine on the psychological state of pregnant women in neighboring European countries is currently studied only in isolated studies, and they indicate that refugees from Ukraine as a result of the war face additional risk factors, such as linguistic and cultural barriers, which hinder effective communication between patients and medical professionals. Therefore, the question arises of developing tools for psychological screening and a set of psychological support measures that take into account cultural factors. Further effective psychological health support for this contingent of women requires a complex interdisciplinary approach.
