What this trial studies

This cohort study surveys at least 300 Ukrainian women to explore links between wartime stress and reproductive decisions, as well as perinatal mental health symptoms and psychological difficulties. Participants answer questionnaires about mental health, reproductive experiences, war impact, social support, and obstetric history, alongside demographic information. The goal is to develop an evidence-based model describing factors associated with mental health and childbirth experiences during conflict. Data collection relies on psychological assessments and routine clinical information. The study is led by Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and conducted at its Kyiv campus.
