Abstract
This study explores the connection between Post-migration Stress and Psychological Well-Being among Ukrainian refugees in Romania, with a focus on the moderating roles of Resilience and Social Support. Using scales for stress, well-being, resilience, and social support, data was collected from Ukrainian refugees (N = 84), mostly women aged 18 to 68. The analysis, conducted before significant changes in government support, revealed a negative correlation between post-migration stress and psychological well-being. Both resilience and social support showed moderating effects in the relationship between post-migration stress and environmental mastery (a facet of psychological well-being construct). The study also examined demographic variations within the refugee community in relation to stress, well-being, social support, and resilience, highlighting potential impacts of subsequent changes in refugees’ circumstances on research outcomes.
