The full-scale escalation of Russia's war against Ukraine in 2022 created a surge of mental health issues, requiring urgent, evidence-based interventions to reduce trauma and mitigate stress. Reflecting recommendations from leading specialists in the field, Ukrainian mental health professionals sought to develop appropriate skills and knowledge for working in wartime through advanced training programs. This study aimed to investigate the experiences of Ukrainian mental health professionals having completed advanced training in mental health topics in wartime. A survey design was adopted, using the purposefully developed, and validated 'Wartime Learning Satisfaction Scale'. Regression analysis assessed the hypothesized contribution of four scales (Education, Educator, Learner, and War) to the perceived value of advanced training and learners' satisfaction. Respondents ( = 271) were trained in up to 30 courses ( = 4.27, SD = 3.03) lasting from two to over 120 h. Regression analysis revealed different predictors for satisfaction and value of the courses. Advanced training resulted in higher satisfaction with learning if it matched professional goals of mental health professionals and perceived higher value when relevant to societal demand, consistently constructed, practically useful, and not solely focusing on war-related issues. Respondents who completed all advanced training courses they were interested demonstrated significantly higher confidence in working in wartime. These findings are essential for effective mental health practice during wartime.
2022 年，俄罗斯对乌克兰的全面战争升级引发了一波心理健康问题，需要紧急采取基于证据的干预措施，以减少创伤和缓解压力。反映该领域主要专家的建议，乌克兰心理健康专业人员通过高级培训计划寻求发展在战时工作的适当技能和知识。本研究旨在调查完成战时心理健康主题高级培训的乌克兰心理健康专业人员的经验。采用了调查设计，使用专门开发和验证的“战时学习满意度量表”。回归分析评估了四个量表（教育、教育者、学习者和战争）对高级培训的感知价值和学习者满意度的假设贡献。受访者（=271）接受了多达 30 门课程的培训（=4.27，SD=3.03），课程持续时间从两个多小时到 120 多个小时不等。回归分析显示，满意度和课程价值的预测因素不同。如果高级培训与心理健康专业人员的专业目标相匹配，并且与社会需求相关、一致构建、实用且不仅仅关注与战争相关的问题，则认为培训具有价值，那么培训将导致更高的学习满意度。完成所有感兴趣的高级培训课程的受访者在战时工作的信心显著提高。这些发现对战时有效的心理健康实践至关重要。
