Аim - to conduct a systematic analysis of scientific sources on the social health of Ukrainian children and adolescents under martial law as a pressing problem of psychology, medicine and social work. Martial law conditions negatively affect the main aspects of the social health of children and adolescents in Ukraine. The level of social health in the aspect of military actions is determined by negative factors that affect the social health of the child. A low level of social health reflects the inability of children and adolescents to socialize.
Social health is not a state of stability. A child, especially in adolescence, cannot have absolute social health. The following components of social health can be defined: interest in the environment; focus on results; empathy; responsibility to others; perception of social reality; adaptation to the environment.
War is a social factor influencing modern society. Psychological resistance to dangerous conditions and the ability to preserve one’s own health and life are being formed in children and adolescents. At the same time, negative social trends include an increase in the percentage of Ukrainian children and adolescents suffering from depression, anxiety, mental disorders, and unbalanced behavior. A small group of adolescents perceives war as a very dangerous psychological and social situation. This leads to reckless actions with negative consequences. The impact of war on the social health of Ukrainian children and adolescents is mainly negative. Preservation of social health requires significant efforts by pediatricians, social workers, and teachers.
The authors declare the absence of a conflict of interest.
