Аim - to conduct a systematic analysis of scientific sources that investigate mental health as a component of a healthy lifestyle of Ukrainian adolescents aged 15-16 years in conditions of martial law.
Ensuring the mental health of adolescents in conditions of martial law is an important problem for modern Ukraine. Adolescence is a transitional stage between childhood and adulthood. According to the terminology used by the UN, adolescents are persons aged 10-19 years (early adolescence - 10-14 years; late adolescence - 15-19 years). Adolescents aged 15-16 years need to create an effective support system at the level of educational programs on mental health and practical self-help tools to maintain their own mental health during war, which will include access to psychological help, psychotherapy and preventive measures. Mental health is a state of well-being in which an adolescent is able to realize his or her potential, cope with the stresses of everyday life, study productively, work and contribute to society. And war has long-term negative consequences for adolescents aged 15-16 years.
Informing and popularizing the care of adolescents and young people for their own mental health is a key aspect in maintaining resilience and adaptability during full-scale military operations. Adolescents aged 15-16 years face powerful psychological pressure caused by chronic stress, traumatic events, loss of loved ones and a constant threat to their safety and their own lives. This situation contributes to the development of serious mental health problems. The issue of the impact of martial law on the mental health of adolescents remains relevant.
The authors declare the absence of a conflict of interest.
