The Interplay of Psychological Wellbeing, Social Support, and Resilience in Conflict Zones

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between resiliency, social support, and psychological well-being in communities impacted by violence. The study employs quantitative approaches to compare individuals from war zones with those from non-conflict zones. The attributes are assessed via standardized instruments such as the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Ryff Psychological Wellbeing Scale, and Interpersonal Support Evaluation List. Cross-sectional data gathering elucidates psychological tendencies within these groupings. The findings indicate that individuals in conflict zones exhibit greater resilience and possess enhanced social support, despite having equivalent psychological well-being. The higher levels were more pronounced in females, indicating that conflict-related stress is being managed adaptively. Studies indicate that social support is essential in combat environments. Moreover, social support and resilience are closely interconnected, indicating that these characteristics may mitigate the adverse effects of conflict on well-being. The study emphasized the necessity of community-based support and resilience to maintain well-being throughout challenging periods. The findings have implications for the social support networks and resilience counselling in war-torn regions.
