More than 30 Ukrainian researchers displaced by the war have temporarily joined the University of Luxembourg mainly as research fellows and in some cases under temporary contracts funded by the FNR. In this series of interviews, we briefly present the researchers and their work.<\/p><p>Oksana Senyk is an Associate Professor at Department of Psychology and Psychotherapy, Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) in Lviv, Ukraine. She is now a Visiting Researcher at the <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/recherche\/fhse\/dbcs\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Department of Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/fhse\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences\" rel=\"noopener\">Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences<\/a> at the University of Luxembourg.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"what-is-your-research-field-and-which-specific-topic-are-you-working-on\"\n    >\nWhat is your research field and which specific topic are you working on?<\/h4>\n<p>Normally my research interests lie in the field of psychology of time;\u00a0these are topics of time perspective,\u00a0subjective time, chronotypes etc. However, with the beginning of the war more urgent topics came to the fore and now together with my colleague from UCU, Anastasiia Shyroka, and my supervisor here at the University of\u00a0Luxembourg, Anna Kornadt, we are investigating the mental health of Ukrainian displaced children who have experienced the war in various ways, in order to better understand the key factors and ways to balance them to preserve the mental health of our children.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"what-would-you-like-to-achieve-in-your-research-work-here-in-luxembourg\"\n    >\nWhat would you like to achieve in your research work here, in Luxembourg?<\/h4>\n<p>I was surprised to hear how many Ukrainian families were\u00a0hosted by\u00a0welcoming\u00a0Luxembourgish citizens. Often in research that covers many European countries, Luxembourg is not considered due to its small number of citizens. We thought here was an\u00a0excellent\u00a0opportunity to include Luxembourg in our research on the\u00a0mental\u00a0health of\u00a0the Ukrainian displaced\u00a0children,\u00a0many of whom might stay in Luxembourg for\u00a0a long time. We believe that with the help of our research we will be able to answer important questions of how to\u00a0better help Ukrainian children,\u00a0how to\u00a0find a proper approach to balance their mental health and thus, to ensure their stable psychological development, in spite of all the difficult experiences they have been through. Also, my supervisor here is a highly qualified professional in the methodology of psychological scientific research and with her expertise we hope to strengthen\u00a0our findings and assure their correctness, and so the applicability of the results.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"will-your-research-have-a-potential-impact-on-peoples-everyday-life\"\n    >\nWill your research have a potential impact on people\u2019s everyday life?<\/h4>\n<p>The main aim of our study is to further the understanding of the key factors of displaced children&rsquo;s mental health to ensure their psychological well-being and stable development. When\u00a0we receive the results, we plan to communicate them to professionals in\u00a0the\u00a0field of social\u00a0work and psychotherapy who\u00a0currently support Ukrainian refugees in\u00a0different\u00a0European countries\u00a0to help them enhance the quality of care they provide.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"what-do-you-think-is-the-biggest-contribution-your-work-can-bring-to-the-university-of-luxembourg-or-to-luxembourg-in-general\"\n    >\nWhat do you think is the biggest contribution your work can bring to the University of Luxembourg or to Luxembourg in general?<\/h4>\n<p>The biggest contribution will be the study of this specific group of people, the Ukrainian refugees, who are part\u00a0of\u00a0the life and space of Luxembourg\u00a0nowadays. This is a new reality we have and need to face, need to deal with, and so it is important to understand these people. Another contribution, hopefully, will be a joint paper about the results of the conducted research. And last but not least &#8211; I truly believe that my work here is just a beginning of a collaboration between psychologists of the University of Luxembourg and the Ukrainian Catholic University which will have a fruitful continuation in the future.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"university-of-luxembourg\"\n    >\n\u00a9 University of Luxembourg<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a result of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, many scholars and scientists have left the country.
