The statistical analysis of the data was carried out by means of the program «Statistica» 8.0. Differences between the groups were considered as statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results. Anxiety symptoms were observed in 53.2 % of the patients. The average HADS-A subscale score was 8.0 (5.0; 9.0) points. Symptoms of hospital depression were observed in 38.4 % of the patients.
