It was determined that the social and psychological adaptation and stress resistance characteristics of IDPs living in Baku city and its surrounding districts is comprehensively affected by their individual psychological characteristics, sexual differences, long term frustration, number of children in the family and conflicts in the family. Delay in the process of returning to their homeland and injuries caused during displacement are considered to be one of the main factors.
