ABSTRACT
Aim: To investigate the peculiarities of stress manifestation in women under war conditions and to substantiate a set of measures for its prevention.
Materials and Methods: The research, which was conducted from 2022 to 2024, involved 157 women of different ages (from 18 to 70). Research methods
were bibliosemantic, medical and sociological, statistical, system analysis, and logical generalization.
Results: The peculiarities of stress manifestation in women under war conditions have been investigated. It has been found that 42.0 % of women are constantly
in a state of fatigue and exhaustion and assess their stress as maximum. A persistent negative emotional state is experienced by 72.6 % of women, and the inability
to experience positive emotions – 52.8 %. More than 70.0 % of the respondents say they do not know how to cope independently with stressful conditions. A
set of preventive measures to overcome stress has been proposed and practical recommendations for preventing stress among women have been developed.
Conclusions: Effective stress prevention measures include reducing the likelihood of stressors through self-realization, developing knowledge of the value of
health, raising awareness of danger, determining one’s life strategy, providing timely psychological assistance, learning to cope with stress using anti-stress
techniques, and monitoring and adjusting one’s reactions to stress. The developed practical recommendations can be used in awareness-raising activities by
public health professionals to prevent stress in women under martial law.
