description Introduction COVID-19 pandemic reality raise multiple problems that need effective ways of coping. Not only for people experienced contracting COVID-19 but those who did not the positive ways of coping are important way to overcome distress associated with COVID-19. Post-traumatic Growth of personality may be effective coping factor. To test this hypothesis we used several instruments: one of them - Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI) for assessing the level of distress specific to Covid-19 Objectives 463 participants (including 66 patients in COVID-19 clinics) Methods Russian version of Covid-19 Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI) validated in Psychological Helping and resocialization Department Moscow State University; Impact of Event Scale (Horowitz), Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory – PTGI (Tadeshi & Calhoun) adapted by M. Magomed-Eminov Results Russian version of CPDI has high reliability-consistency (Cronbach’s α -0.87). We obtained from our data: significant correlation between CPDI and PTG for people experienced COVID-19 contamination. Content analysis of narratives and incomplete sentences showed: those who had higher scores on PTG and CPDI have differences in personal meaning of their traumatic experience. Conclusions CPDI is presented in research as brief effective tool to identify COVID-19 related distress and plan helping strategies and psychiatric interventions for various people suffering by continuing pandemic crisis. Correlation between CPDI and COVID-19 contamination: could suggest more severe distress is associated with higher PTG. And PTG could be considered as positive factor coping with distress. We suggest cultural-activity approach to personality work with stressful experience of individual to confront distress, existential evaluation of life situation taking into account also resilience, growth . Disclosure No significant relationships.
