{"title":"Fear of COVID-19 in Seafarers: Association with Psychological Distress","authors":"Arda Toygar, U. Yıldırım","doi":"10.4274/jems.2023.58966","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4274/jems.2023.58966","url":null,"abstract":"Since its inception, the coronavirus pandemic has caused serious social, economic, and health problems around the world. Seafarers have been identified as key workers in mitigating the negative impact of the coronavirus on global trade and ensuring the delivery of medical and hygiene supplies to regions in need. However, the complete closure policies implemented by certain countries have led to prolonged periods on board for seafarers with expired contracts and economic hardship for those unable to join new assignments. Seafarers who spend long periods on board a ship must deal with issues that may affect their psychological state. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors that cause seafarers to experience psychological distress and to develop relevant strategies to address them. The aim of this study was to determine the association between seafarers’ fear of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and psychological distress including symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. The questionnaire used the fear of COVID-19 Scale and the expression, Anxiety and Stress Scale), which have strong psychometric properties. Data were collected from 425 qualified seafarers working on international merchant ships and analyzed by structural equation modeling using AMOS-24. The results indicate that seafarers’ fear of COVID-19 is positively associated with symptoms of anxiety and stress but not with depression. Maritime companies, sectoral organizations, and policymakers should collaborate to reduce these associations among seafarers. A unified management approach improved access to health services, and regular mental health assessments can be effective solutions.","PeriodicalId":41280,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eta Maritime Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46662744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many tasks are expected to fulfill by the ship’s personnel to safely complete this type of operation. However, many human errors may occur during this process, and this situation threatens the safety of life and property. In this respect, this study predicts potential human errors and probabilities that may occur during cargo unloading operations on bulk carrier ships. In this study, an integrated human error prediction approach is proposed using interval type 2 fuzzy sets and the success likelihood index method. Thus, within the scope of this study, a model was obtained that allows human errors to be evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively. Because of the analyzes made, it has been found that the most common human errors that occur while unloading cargo operations on bulk carriers occur in the processes of following the ballast operation and performing the tasks to prevent excessive trim/list formation on board ship, respectively. In addition, it was concluded that the factors that most shape the performance of the ship’s personnel are education, communication, and experience.","PeriodicalId":41280,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eta Maritime Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48286932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
