Background: Primary care and mental health services for pregnant and postpartum moms are facing increased difficulties as a result of the war in Ukraine.
Objective: To review and identify the available literature and conduct a study in order to determine psychological rehabilitation adaptation of pregnant women and mothers in the postpartum period who experienced traumatic events during the war in Ukraine
Methodology: In order to assess the effects of this condition, data was gathered. The existence of risk factors, such as a change in lifestyle associated with being a refugee and rehabilitation, is the most important factor associated with PSTD in pregnant and postpartum moms.
Results: Observational studies suggest that the symptoms of PSTD may be improved by coping self-efficacy therapies.
Conclusion: Further study is required to examine these components in greater detail and to suggest additional rehabilitation strategies.
