КРЫМСКАЯ МОЛОДЕЖЬ В УСЛОВИЯХ ПЕРВОЙ ВОЛНЫ РАСПРОСТРАНЕНИЯ COVID-19: ЗДОРОВЬЕСБЕРЕГАЮЩИЕ СТРАТЕГИИ

Abstract

Objective of the study is to identify the nature of the strategies for preserving the health of Crimean youth and the peculiarities of self-regulation of health-preserving behavior in the conditions of the first wave of the spread of COVID-19.   The methodological basis of the research is the sociocultural approach to the study of social self-regulation. It allows to substantiate the motivation of one or another type of behavior of young people in various conditions and spheres of life.   Research results. The study included three indicators – attitude to health, attitude to coronavirus infection, forms of self-regulation. According to the first indicator, three strategies for saving health are derived: maximum health anxiety, median health anxiety, indifference to health. The distribution of responses showed the priority importance of the first strategy for the majority, the second was slightly less relevant and the third was insignificant. The established hierarchy was formed due to the threats of coronavirus infection. This assumption was confirmed by the procedure of combining strategies of attitude to health and the perception of threats from COVID-19 as personally significant and real. The result of this relationship was the readiness of the Crimean youth to voluntarily and consciously accept two forms of self-regulation: self-isolation and social distancing.   Prospects of the study: in the future, we plan to investigate the forms of self-organization of young people who have already had COVID-19.
