Abstract
To study and assess the psychoemotional status of people and patients during pandemics, as well as to study and assess their psycho-vegetative reactions during the disease are very important steps in order to improve outcomes, prevent complications and accelerate recovery. Purpose. To study the relationship between anxiety disorders (fear of COVID-19), traumatic distress and the development of psychovegetative pathological reactions. To assess the applicability of scales for their diagnostics. Materials and methods. Data obtained from 463 people and 66 patients from hospitals reconstructed for COVID-19 were analyzed. The researchers used COVID-19 fear scale (Fear of COVID-19 Scale, 2020) and M. Horowitz stress test (Impact of Event Scale) adapted for Russia by Dr. Magomed-Eminov. Results. A strong correlation between anxiety disorders by COVID-19 fear scale and findings of Impact of Event Scale (p = 0.427, p < 0.001), as well as socio-demographic characteristics (gender, age) has been revealed in the trial.References
