OBJECTIVE The aim: To explore the peculiarities of subjective well-being (psychological well-being, physical health and well-being, relationships) and total well-being of the population during the 2022 war in Ukraine. To analyze the differences in subjective well-being of different population groups during the 2022 war in Ukraine according to the socio-demographic (gender, age, marital status) and socio-professional (social sphere of the work, position) characteristics and place of residence and security (territorial location and security level). PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: Subjective well-being was studied using the modified BBC Subjective Well-being scale (BBC-SWB). A specially designed questionnaire was used to study the characteristics of the population. The study was conducted in May 2022. 344 respondents from Central region (Kyiv and Dnipro cities, Kyiv region) of Ukraine participated in the survey using a Google Form. RESULTS Results: The population's subjective well-being the during the 2022 war in Ukraine was found to be at a moderate level. The differences in subjective well-being between the population groups (differentiated by their socio-demographic, socio-professional characteristics and characteristics of the place of residence and safety) were found. The most striking differences can be seen between the groups that differed by such criteria as gender, age, and place of residence during the war. The greatest differences were observed in the 'psychological well-being' and 'physical health and well-being' subscales, while the least differences in the 'relationships' subscale. CONCLUSION Conclusions: The research findings can be helpful for local governments, social services, volunteer organizations, and psychological centers, as well as the described categories of the population in increasing the subjective well-being of the population in conditions of the 2022 war in Ukraine.
