The impact of war on the population is vast, especially when it comes to those who were directly affected by war, among other things as concentration camp detainees. Because of the specific war experience of this population it is important to better understand the possible contribution of key socio-demographic variables, war traumatization and acute disturbances in mental health to their subjective assessment of their own well-being, which represents a psychological category and is based on a subjective assessment. The starting point is a theoretical precept according to which individual characteristics, together with war experience, can have repercussions on mental health, and eventually on the general well-being of an individual and their quality of life. The study comprised 184participants who had given their informed consent for participation and filled out complete questionnaires. The participants were a convenience sample of male persons who had survived war captivity in the Homeland War in the period from 1991 to 1995. The study was conducted as part of the physical examinations at the University Hospital "Fran Mihaljević" in Zagreb. The data was collected using several self-evaluation measuring instruments one of which served to collect socio-demographic data, two to collect data on the participants' mental health, one for the data on the participants' combat and war experiences and one to assess the participants' well-being. The data obtained suggest that only avoidance and arousal symptoms and psychosomatic difficulties are predictors of the well-being of persons who have experienced war captivity.
战争对民众的影响是巨大的，尤其是对那些直接受战争影响的人，比如集中营被拘留者。鉴于这一群体独特的战争经历，更深入地了解关键社会人口统计学变量、战争创伤以及心理健康方面的急性障碍对他们主观幸福感评估的可能影响至关重要，主观幸福感是一个心理范畴，基于主观评估。研究的出发点是一个理论观点，即个人特征与战争经历共同作用，可能会对心理健康产生影响，最终影响个人的总体幸福感及其生活质量。该研究共有184名参与者，他们均已签署知情同意书并填写了完整问卷。参与者是从1991年至1995年祖国战争期间经历战争囚禁并存活下来的男性中方便抽样选取的。该研究是在萨格勒布的“弗兰·米哈列维奇”大学医院进行的体检的一部分。数据收集使用了多种自我评估测量工具，其中一种用于收集社会人口统计学数据，两种用于收集参与者心理健康数据，一种用于收集参与者战斗和战争经历数据，一种用于评估参与者的幸福感。所获得的数据表明，只有回避与唤起症状以及身心困扰是经历过战争囚禁者幸福感的预测指标。
