Objective:

To explore the potential usefulness of logotherapy in addressing the specific mental health needs, such as anxiety and depression, of Ukrainian refugees.

Key Findings:
  • Participants showed significant reductions in self-reported anxiety and depressive symptoms after the intervention.
  • Logotherapy may be a promising approach for psychological support in refugee populations.
Interpretation:

Improvements in mental health indicators suggest logotherapy's potential effectiveness; however, due to the study's pilot nature and quasi-experimental design, causal conclusions cannot be drawn.

Limitations:
  • Small sample size of 20 participants.
  • Quasi-experimental design limits causal inference.
  • Need for larger, randomized studies to confirm findings.
  • Potential biases in self-report measures may affect results.
Conclusion:

Logotherapy may enhance resilience in Ukrainian refugees, warranting further research.
