Abstract

The article examines the role of training programs in developing psychological resilience among future psychologists during the full-scale war in Ukraine. The study emphasizes the importance of preparing specialists capable of functioning effectively under constant stress, emotional pressure, and informational overload. The author notes that the psychological state of future psychologists during the war is characterized by increased levels of anxiety, emotional tension, and reduced indicators of resilience. Psychological resilience is conceptualized as a multidimensional construct that includes the ability to adapt, overcome difficulties, maintain emotional stability, and preserve professional efficiency. The article presents the results of an empirical study evaluating the impact of a training program aimed at developing self-regulation skills, stress tolerance, emotional competence, and personal resources. The findings indicate that training interventions contribute to reduced anxiety and emotional burnout, increased sense of self-efficacy and perceived control, and improved coping strategies. Methodological aspects, sample characteristics, psychodiagnostic tools, intervention structure, and statistical procedures are described in detail. The author notes that the implementation of training programs in the system of training future psychologists is appropriate and necessary, especially in wartime conditions, when the psycho-emotional load on higher education students increases significantly. Such programs can be integrated into curricula as a component of psychoprophylactic work. The results confirm the effectiveness of training technologies as an important component of professional education for future psychologists in crisis conditions. The article may be useful for higher education institutions, psychological services, and student support programs during wartime.
