Abstract: This study aims to discern significant shifts in the impact of war on university students and academic personnel, from the war's onset (March–April 2022) to eight months later (November–December 2022). Our research questions focus on the individual experiences affected by warfare, changes in mental health status, and factors accounting for these observed changes. This research is a repeated cross-sectional survey, conducted in two waves, in March and November 2022. Findings revealed a significant increase in the general fear of war (t(1018.4) = −9.79, p <.001), emotional and physiological reactions to war remained stable overall but escalated among those with relatives in the armed forces and decreased in subsets not experiencing significant shifts in well-being and emotional reactions to war. Burnout levels increased (t(723.2) = 2.06, p =.040), but decreased among those reporting no change in well-being due to the war. Results also reveal a significant increase in: being in blockade and/or under shelling (χ2(1) = 12.737, p <.001); lost (χ2(1) = 11.644, p <.001) and dead relatives (χ2(1) = 14.248, p <.001); worsening of chronic diseases (χ2(1) = 11.838, p <.001); relatives in armed forces (χ2(1) = 889.360, p <.001). Conversely, resilience did not significantly increase, although a trend toward its improvement over time was observed. Given the unpredictable and prolonged nature of the conflict and changes in the impact of the war, our study shows that more regular follow-up studies are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
