ABSTRACT

During a pandemic, threats and risks to people’s mental health are growing. However, to date, there is insufficient scientificdata on the characteristics of the emotional sphere and attitude to the changing living conditions of various populationgroups. The data on anxiety, depressive conditions in the context of a new coronavirus infection are especiallyrelevant for providing timely psychological assistance to medical workers, both working directly with the infected andnot directly interacting with them.The paper describes and presents the results of online monitoring of the manifestations of anxiety and persistent emotionalstates in medical workers who are not at the forefront with Covid-19 patients and other populations in the contextof the coronavirus pandemic. 102 people took part in the monitoring (the average age of the subjects was 38.91±11.07(from 23 years to 70 years), 32 men, 70 women. According to the results of the survey of four groups: medical workerswho do not directly interact with patients with Covid-19 (group I, n = 55 people), who work in other areas (group II, n =47 people), it is determined that the highest level of stress is in the groups of medical workers and residents receivinghigher professional medical education (the results are statistically significant, the significance level is p ≤ 0,01). At the timeof the examination, these subjects expressed relatively stable individual experiences of the anxiety-depressive complex.They experience anxiety, are prone to fears, and experience psycho-emotional stress. The study allows us to attribute tothe risk group not only medical workers directly working with patients, but also medical workers who do not directly interactwith them, and also confirms the need for timely clinical and psychological assistance to these groups.


KEYWORDS: anxiety, stress, psychoemotional stress, distress, coping strategies, Covid-19.
