Introduction and objective:
The survey conducted online between October – November 2020 included 409 respondents (76.8% of females) aged 18–35 (M=24.3; SD=4.7). An anonymous and voluntary online survey contained original questions concerning the subjective assessment of stress and psychophysical wellbeing in a pandemic, assessed according to the scale from 1–9, as well as the PQ-B (PL) Questionnaire and the GAD-7 Generalized Anxiety Questionnaire. The principal method of analyzing the results was hierarchical regression

Material and methods:
It was shown that significant predictors of the incidence of prodromal symptoms of psychosis during the pandemic were the use of a psychologist before the pandemic, subjective sense of wellbeing before the pandemic, and the severity of generalized anxiety (R2=0.243). The predictors of the severity of distress were variables analogous to the frequency of symptoms (R2=0.282). Subjective assessment of the severity of stress did not occur to be a significant predictor.

Results:
A higher level of generalized anxiety, a lower level of subjective psychophysical wellbeing and the use of psychological assistance correlate with the frequent occurrence of prodromal symptoms of psychosis and with a higher severity of distress. It is recommended that further research should be carried out.
