RESULTS: Results: Amid russian aggression, Ukrainian students are facing challenges that impact not only the educational process but also their psycho-emotional well-being. The war has significantly increased stress levels, instability, and psychological pressure on students who are forced to study under constant threat. In this context, innovative health-preserving educational technologies are becoming increasingly vital for supporting students' physical and mental health, as well as ensuring the continuity of their professional training during wartime. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Post-traumatic stress disorder poses a significant threat to the mental health of students. The phenomenon of collective trauma has recently been intensified by the ongoing war. Supporting individuals' mental health is a key priority of public policy, particularly within the higher education system. Modern approaches to the educational process in universities, with an emphasis on health preservation, involve a variety of innovative methods and technologies that help students adapt to wartime conditions, care for their mental well-being, maintain resilience, and cope with stress. A distinctive feature of these efforts is large-scale educational outreach, not only among students and faculty but also among the wider public.
