Все більше лікарів різних спеціальностей по всій Україні серед своїх пацієнтів зустрічають вимушених переселенців та учасників бойових дій зі східних областей У...раїни. Зважаючи на те, що такі події на території України розгортаються вперше за всі роки незалежності, вони є незвичними, нетиповими, такими, що виходять за межі буденності.

The psychological impacts in face of public health crisis.
It is understandable for people to experience the fear and
anxiety in face of uncertainty; they can help us cope with
