Analysis on fatigue status and influencing factors of crew with long distance voyages

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To explore the fatigue status and influencing factors of crew during long distance voyages,and provide clues for reducing their psychological stress level and fatigue level. Methods A total of 502 crew who were on a long voyage mission from July to September 2023 were selected as the research subjects. A general information survey questionnaire,the Connor Davidson resilience scale（CD-RISC）,the simplified coping style questionnaire（SCSQ）,the psychological stress self evaluation test（PSET）,and the Chinese version of the multidimensional fatigue inventory（MFI-20） were used for the questionnaire survey,and SPSS 26.0 software was used for data analysis. Results The total fatigue score of crew during long distance voyages was （52.68±26.06）points,of which 39.4% had obvious fatigue symptoms. There was a statistically significant difference in the fatigue scores of crew with different levels of education（P<0.01）,among which the fatigue scores of crew during long distance voyages with a bachelor's degree or above were higher than those with a junior college,high school or below. Negative coping styles and psychological stress were positively correlated with fatigue,while psychological resilience was negatively correlated with fatigue（all P<0.01）. Psychological resilience,positive coping styles,and psychological stress could explain 57.0% of the variation in fatigue[F（4,497）=167.315,P<0.01]. Conclusion The fatigue level of crew during long distance voyages is at a relatively high level. Negative coping styles and psychological stress can positively predict the fatigue level of crew during long distance voyages,while psychological resilience can negatively predict the fatigue level of crew during long distance voyages. Psychological resilience training can be used to change negative coping cognition,thereby reducing the psychological stress level and fatigue level of crew during long distance voyages and improving overall task efficiency.
