Description

<p>The working environment for seafarers has improved dramatically due to improvements in ship functions, various legal measures, and efforts and innovations by both labor and management to improve the workplace. However, life at sea for seafarers is fundamentally harsh, as they operate ships in a highly volatile environment and are unable to take adequate and continuous rest periods. They also live at work for long periods of time, a situation that is far more difficult than the working environment for land-based workers. As a result, the accident occurrence among seafarers has always exceeded that of accidents on land, and is about four times higher than that of land-based accidents. This study focuses on the mental health of seafarers, particularly the effects of fatigue and stress, and to extract and structure risk factors using multivariate analysis techniques to consolidate the knowledge necessary to maintain the health of seafarers' mental health.</p><p>Based on the results of the questionnaire survey, risk factors affecting the mental health of seafarers were extracted, and the results of correspondence analysis and text-mining analysis of free descriptions provided useful information for maintaining the mental health of seafarers.</p>
