Ukrainian female students reported higher fear of war in 2024 than in 2023, with the difference being statistically significant but small in size.

In 2022, these students were really scared of the war. By 2023, they felt a bit less scared — but by 2024, their fear shot back up again, even higher than before.

Higher depression levels in Ukrainian female students were strongly linked to higher fear of war and burnout, especially for burnout where the connection was very strong.

Students who were more depressed also had much higher levels of fear and emotional exhaustion — the worse their depression, the worse their fear and burnout.

Ukrainian female students who became refugees reported higher fear of war than those who stayed in their homes, with a statistically significant difference.

No matter when they were surveyed, students who were more afraid of the war were also more emotionally drained — this connection stayed strong throughout the war.
