We aimed to screen Ukrainian war refugees (UWR) in Czechia for depression and anxiety, and to assess their recognition of personal mental health problems and related help-seeking.
We conducted a cross-sectional study on a sample of UWR in Czechia. We used PHQ-8 and GAD-7 to screen for depression and anxiety, SELF-I to assess the recognition of respondents' own mental health problems, and a set of questions regarding mental health-related help-seeking.
Our sample consisted of 1,347 UWR. More than 41 % of respondents screened positively for moderate or severe depression and more than 23 % for moderate or severe anxiety. Self-recognition of mental health as well as help-seeking was very low among those who screened positively for moderate or severe depression or anxiety.
Even those UWR who report severe symptoms do not identify themselves as potentially having mental health issues and are not seeking help.
我们旨在对捷克的乌克兰战争难民（UWR）进行抑郁和焦虑筛查，并评估他们对个人心理健康问题的认识以及相关的寻求帮助情况。
我们在捷克的 UWR 样本中进行了一项横断面研究。我们使用 PHQ-8 和 GAD-7 筛查抑郁和焦虑，使用 SELF-I 评估受访者对自身心理健康问题的认识，以及一套与心理健康相关的寻求帮助问题。
我们的样本包括 1347 名 UWR。超过 41%的受访者筛查出中度或重度抑郁，超过 23%的受访者筛查出中度或重度焦虑。在那些筛查出中度或重度抑郁或焦虑的人中，自我识别心理健康问题以及寻求帮助的比例非常低。
即使是那些报告严重症状的 UWR，也不认为自己可能存在心理健康问题，也不寻求帮助。
