Abstract
Aim. Study of the psycho-emotional state of Russian citizens during the period of the COVID-19 illness.
Methodology. The study was conducted in October-November 2021. The sample consisted of 168 respondents (citizens of the Russian Federation) who had suffered the COVID-19, aged 22 to 62 years. As a research method, a content analysis of retrospective written self-reports of study participants about the period of illness was used.
Results. The content analysis method allowed us to identify 12 significant contexts around which respondents’ statements related to their personal assessment of their psychological state during illness are grouped (fear, anxiety, self-anxiety, anxiety about the loved ones/relatives, children/child, weakness, feelings/ sensations, more/need, health).
Theoretical and/or practical significance. The obtained results of the study emphasize the importance of further studying the impact of the endured COVID-19 on a person’s personality and can be used in the development of programs of preventive and corrective measures to reduce possible negative consequences for the psychological health of Russian citizens.
