      Antecedentes: Este estudio investiga el impacto del apoyo social en la resiliencia y afecto entre individuos ucranianos afectados por la guerra (personas no desplazadas como refugiados), un año después del inicio del conflicto. Método:

      Se reclutó un total de 344 participantes y se categorizaron en dos grupos: personas no desplazadas y refugiados. Las medidas incluyeron la Escala de Experiencias Positivas y Negativas (SPANE), la Escala Breve de Afrontamiento Resiliente (BRCS) y la Escala Multidimensional de Apoyo Social Percibido (MSPSS). Se realizó una rigurosa retrotraducción para la BRCS y la MSPSS para garantizar propiedades psicométricas sólidas. Resultados: Los hallazgos revelaron niveles más altos de afecto positivo y negativo en el grupo de personas no desplazadas en comparación con los refugiados, junto con disparidades significativas en el apoyo social percibido. La modelización de trayectorias utilizando Modelado de Ecuaciones Estructurales de Mínimos Cuadrados Parciales (PLS-SEM) demostró la interconexión entre las variables estudiadas. Es importante destacar que la subescala ‘familia’ de la MSPSS emergió como el predictor más influyente del afecto. Conclusiones: El apoyo social mostró un efecto sobre resiliencia y afecto.

      La resiliencia se identificó como un factor dinámico y potencialmente mediador. Esto subraya la importancia de las redes de apoyo social.

      Background: This study investigates the impact of social support on resilience and affect among Ukrainian individuals affected by war (non-displaced persons and refugees), one year after the onset of the conflict. Method: A total of 344 participants were recruited and categorized into two groups: non-displaced individuals and refugees. Measures included the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE), the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Rigorous back-translation was conducted for the BRCS and MSPSS to ensure solid psychometric properties. Results: Findings revealed higher levels of both positive and negative affect in the non-displaced group compared to refugees, along with significant disparities in perceived social support. Path modeling using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) demonstrated the interconnections between the studied variables. It is worth noting that the ‘family’ subscale of the MSPSS emerged as the most influential predictor of affect. Conclusions: Social support demonstrated an effect on resilience and affect.

      Resilience was identified as a dynamic and potentially mediating factor. This underscores the importance of social support networks, particularly familial support, in promoting well-being among populations affected by conflict.
