The ongoing aggression war by Russia in Ukraine underscores the need to explore the impact of geopolitical crises on students' well-being within the system university. Previous studies have raised concern regarding rising mental health issues among students, exacerbated by war-related stressors. The effects extend to non-war-involved countries on several levels, with heightened anxiety and fear reported for students. In this study, the affectedness of well-being, perceived stress and work engagement among German medicine students is surveyed in a cross-sectional multi-methods study before and after the initial war occurrences in Ukraine were reported. Results show lessened well-being and increase perceived stress, but non significantly affected work engagement. The students report several demands and resources to cope with stressors and maintain ongoing study motivation and capability. By understanding the personal repercussions of systemic crises, this study seeks to identify longitudinal support needs for medical students navigating uncertain times.
俄罗斯在乌克兰持续进行的侵略战争凸显了探讨地缘政治危机对大学系统内学生福祉影响的必要性。先前的研究对学生中不断增加的心理健康问题表示担忧，与战争相关的压力源加剧了这些问题。这些影响在多个层面延伸到未卷入战争的国家，据报道学生的焦虑和恐惧有所加剧。在本研究中，在乌克兰首次发生战争事件前后，通过横断面多方法研究对德国医科学生的幸福感、感知压力和工作投入度的受影响情况进行了调查。结果显示幸福感降低，感知压力增加，但工作投入度未受到显著影响。学生们报告了应对压力源以及维持持续学习动力和能力的多项需求和资源。通过了解系统性危机的个人影响，本研究旨在确定在不确定时期为医科学生提供长期支持的需求。
