Kharitonova, Natalia ; Bukhanevych, Lyudmyla ; Thell, Nataliya LU and Jägervi, Lotta LU (2026) In Research Reports in Social Work p.62-75
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the impact of the war on the mental well-being of
university students. First, we will provide a brief overview of the “generation
of war” – comprising the majority of the current university students – and the
mental health issues that war can cause. Next, we present the results of a
student well-being survey conducted at Zhytomyr Polytechnic State Uni-
versity in 2022, 2023 and 2025. Finally, we outline some methods for
providing support to students during wartime.
