Sažetak
Since the start of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, over 5 million refugees from Ukraine have crossed the European Union border. This group is mostly comprised of women and children, and the exact number of pregnant and postpartum women war refugees is still unknown. According to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine in 2020, there were 293, 400 live births in Ukraine, so a similar number of children is expected to be born in 2022 in Ukraine and abroad (Verner, n.d. pp. 455). The perinatal period (from pregnancy to the first year after childbirth) is a vulnerable time and the onset and recurrence of mental disorders are high, estimating that 1 in 5 women would develop a perinatal mental disorder which might include depression, anxiety, PTSD, and others (Andersen et al., 2012 ; Fawcett et al., 2019 ; Shorey et al., 2018). This presentation aims to provide a brief overview of the main key features of psychological care that need to be taken into consideration to alleviate the negative impact of war and refugee status for pregnant and postpartum women, as well as to identify the challenges and obstacles that difficult the improvement of perinatal care for these women. This review also aims to promote perinatal care to encourage policymakers to take action toward the improvement of perinatal care, especially for the most vulnerable population.
