Abstract
This study explores the role of poetry in providing psychological support to students in stressful situations, particularly in the context of war. The research examines how poetic resources can influence emotional well-being and help students cope with stress. The results indicate that poetry is used less frequently than music for stress relief, but still plays a significant role for some students. Most students tend to favor Ukrainian poetry (especially contemporary), which may indicate a high level of national awareness and a search for emotional comfort in their native culture in stressful situations. Students most often seek support in intimate and landscape lyricism. The survey reveals a tendency to choose optimistic poetic works, confirming their effectiveness in maintaining a positive mood. The number of individuals who turn to poetry as a means of psychological support generally corresponds to the number of those who reported its positive effect.
