Abstract

The article reveals the peculiarities of the psycho-emotional state of Ukrainian immigrants who received protection in Germany. The study covered 125 respondents aged 28 to 63. These are mainly women and children, a small number of men aged 45 and over who have been released from military service, young people, mothers with children, people of retirement age, servicemen who are being treated in Germany as a result of combat injuries. A feature of the sample is that the respondents or their relatives have a serious illness and receive medical care in Germany. Тhe theoretical analysis of scientific sources allowed us to make an assumption that forced migrants have significant problems primarily in the psycho-emotional sphere as a result of experienced psycho-traumatic events due to the Russian invasion. On the basis of theoretical analysis and empirical research, it was established that the psycho-emotional state of forced migrants has a negative impact on the psycho-traumatic events experienced due to the Russian invasion, the presence of a serious illness in them or someone close to them, as well as stress factors of migration itself, such as spontaneity, unpredictability of migration , uncertainty of the future, difficulties in adapting to the conditions of another country. It was empirically determined that respondents have high anxiety, aggressiveness, rigidity, frustration, guilt, shame and fear, emotional tension, irritability, intemperance, difficulties in interacting with others, low self-esteem, avoidance of difficulties, fear of failure, inflexibility in behavior, in attitudes, beliefs We found that 31.5% of respondents plan to return to Ukraine in the spring, 32.0% of respondents plan to return to Ukraine immediately after the end of the war, and 36.8% of respondents would like to stay in Germany for a long period.
