. The article presents the results of studying the meaning of a sense of coherence in the formation of mindfulness, as a personality trait, aimed at full perception and retention of attention on changes in the environment in persons with different levels of health. The objectives of the study were to study the significance of the sense of coherence in the formation of mindfulness and the levels of development of its components in individuals with different levels of health. Materials and Methods. To study the peculiarities of the manifestation of a sense of coherence and the levels of development of its components, a survey was conducted in face-to-face and electronic forms and the questionnaire "Sense of coherence" was applied among respondents with health disorders and from a conditionally healthy group. Results. Analysis of the research results showed that the level of a sense of coherence has connections with the type and degree of health disorders, the period of their appearance and the person's age, but does not have a pronounced relationship with gender. People with physical and somatic health disorders have more developed cognitive functions such as comprehensibility and meaningfulness. Individuals with emotional and mental disorders have a higher level of controllability. In persons from the conditionally healthy group, the feeling of coherence is expressed in a moderate degree; they have a higher level of comprehensibility and controllability, and their meaningfulness is reduced. Discussion and Conclusion. The obtained information on the levels of development of a sense of coherence in persons with health disorders and from a conditionally healthy group allows us to compare the development of their cognitive perception and the possibilities of cognition of the world around them. The research results can be used in psychological support and pedagogical work with persons with health disorders, including disabilities and disabilities.
