Statement of the problem. The article formulates the problem and purpose of a study focused on identifying the characteristics of the doctors life-world stability during the pandemic associated with COVID-19. The problem of this study is due to the contradiction between the desire of people for stability, certainty, the ability to control their lives and the circumstances and conditions of the pandemic regime that limit people in such aspirations and opportunities. Purpose of the article: to recognize the characteristics of the doctors life-world stability during the pandemic associated with COVID-19. Methodology (materials and methods). The research methodology was composed of systemic anthropological psychology, which allows a person’s living space to be considered as his (human) not linear, but multivariate future. At the same time, it becomes possible to consider the processes of self-fulfillment in space and time (chronotope), that is, in a life scan that has not yet taken place, but which a person is a part of. The methodological potential of systemic anthropological psychology in conjunction with the conceptual foundations of the theory of life self-fulfillment allows us to consider the human life-world stability as an opportunity for life self-realization of the project of one’s life. This project just makes up such a characteristic of a person that can manifest itself precisely in the processes of life’s self-fulfillment. In order to maintain the chronotopic logic of human life in the context of this study, we used the author's methodology “Study of the human life-world stability” (Loginova, 2012). The total sample size was 78 doctors: 58 - doctor on duty; 20 - attending doctor. Research results. For the first time, data were obtained on the characteristics of the doctors life-world stability during the pandemic associated with COVID-19. The specifics of changing the time mode of events, the emotional background, the continuity of personal history and the decrease in reflexivity are key. According to the above parameters, significant differences were found in the indicators before the events associated with the special epidemiological regime of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 and during the pandemic. Conclusions in accordance with the purpose of the article. The materials presented will allow psychologists to take these results into account when working with doctors who have particularly experienced the period of the pandemic associated with COVID-19, keeping these parameters in focus as targets for psychological assistance. The obtained data actualizes the need to develop special psychological support programs when leaving the special epidemiological regime of a pandemic.
