TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - The association between negative war-related beliefs and probable PTSD and complex PTSD among Ukrainians during the 2022 Russian invasion JO - Psychiatry research A1 - Ben-Ezra, Menachem A1 - Mor-Ben-Ishai, Shir A1 - Hamama-Raz, Yaira A1 - Bachem, Rahel A1 - Leshem, Elazar A1 - Levin, Yafit SP - e116051 EP - e116051 VL - 339 IS - N2 - The ongoing Ukraine-Russia war triggered significant mental health consequences, particularly posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD). A population study with 1895 Ukrainians explored the association between negative war-related beliefs and risk for PTSD and CPTSD. Negative war-related beliefs were shown to be significantly linked to increased risks for PTSD and more so for CPTSD. Interventions that address negative war-related beliefs could mitigate the mental health impact of war.
