Abstract

The article analyzes the influence of personal and situational anxiety on the quality of life of students of medical universities in Russia. The purpose of this study was to determine significant differences in students’ anxiety depending on the place of stay in urban or rural areas during the period of isolation. The Spielberger-Hanin scale (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - STAI) and the visual analogue scale (VAS) EQ-5D-3L were used for the study. 183 students took part in the work, of which 36 people (19.67 %) stayed in rural areas, 147 people (80.33 %) – in urban areas during the period of forced self-isolation. Based on the experiment carried out and the interpretation of the data obtained, we obtained data that in the groups of subjects who were in urban areas, there were higher indicators of situational and personal anxiety and lower scores on VAS EQ-5D-3L in comparison with pre-pandemic normative data on Russia in this age group, which indicates the potential negative impact of the pandemic on the psychological well-being of medical students, the effect of which can be correlated with the consequences of social isolation, which is higher in urban compared to rural areas.
