Aspen; diagnosis of the level of neurotization by L.A. Wasserman. The author’s questionnaire, “Attitude of Students to the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19),” was also used in the study. Statistical processing of the data was performed using the Spearman correlation coefficient, the SPSS-21.0 application package, and Microsoft Office Excel 2010.
