Вып. 3 235 COV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19). 62 convalescents who underwent COVID-19 (men aged 21.84 ± 4.46 years) were examined 90 days after being discharged from the hospital. The main clinical forms (CF) of COVID-19 in this study were inapparent form (20 people — 32.25 %), acute respiratory viral infection (22 people — 35.49 %) and pneumonia without respiratory failure (20 people — 32.25 %). The diagnosis of all clinical cases of COVID-19, examination, treatment and discharge of patients from the hospital were carried out in accordance with the regulatory documents. Psychodiagnostic research was carried out according to the questionnaires “Scale of subjective well-being” and “Scale of the search for sensations”. Voluntary informed consent to take part in the study was received from all participants. The indicators of subjective well-being in all groups were mainly of average values, and indicators of the desire for stimulation in all groups were generally low. The data on the correlation between the scales of methods indicate the direction of possible psycho-prophylactic work with convalescents. The article notes that self-preserving behavior today allows us to combine the psychological and somatic characteristics of the respondents, therefore, their medical and psychological support should be at the proper level in order to timely identify and stop (if necessary) postcovid syndrome.
