Psychoeducation as a means of developing self-control and increasing stress resistance of Ukrainian higher education students

Abstract

In today's conditions of full-scale war, Ukrainian higher education students find themselves in a double bind, where ordinary academic demands are combined with constant threat, anxiety, uncertainty, interruptions in the educational process, information pressure, losses or displacement. According to recent research, high rates of stress, anxiety, and depression have been observed among students at domestic higher education institutions over the more than three years of war. Such psycho-emotional stress without proper support not only harms the mental health of young people, but also affects academic performance, the ability to self-regulate, adapt to new forms of learning and social integration.
