Abstract:
Objective:To investigate subjective ranking of factors influencing life and work among submariners in long oceangoing voyage, and to make some exploratory analysis and classification of those factors.Methods:A total of 546 submariners who had taken part in long oceangoing voyage were investigated by the specially designed Questionnaire on the Influence of Various Factors in the Long Oceangoing Voyage of Submariners. The data were analyzed by SPSS 23.0 software. Results:During the long oceangoing voyage, the order of the factors influencing submariners′ life and work from high degree to low degree were as follows: submarine harmful gas, submarine noise, biorhythm disorder, worries about personal health, lack of information, monotonous life, temperature and humidity of post and rest cabin, difficulty in personal hygiene maintenance, worries about parents′ health, food problem, narrow space, pressures from operation on post and learning, seasickness, family economic pressure, limited personal development, effects of color and lighting, relationships with leaders and fellow crew members. These factors constituted two categories of factors: physical and chemical environment factors and psychosocial factors. The physical and chemical environmental factors included loud noise and high pollution, seasickness and visual discomfort, high temperature and humidity, self-hygiene problems and biorhythm disorder; and the psychosocial factors were health concerns, life pressure, monotonous life, interpersonal relationship pressure, and work pressure.Conclusion:The main factors that greatly affect submariners′ work and life in long oceangoing voyage are harmful gas, noise, biorhythm disorder, worries about personal health, lack of information, and monotonous life. Generally speaking, the influence of the physical and chemical environment factors is greater than that of the psychosocial factors, although the latter one cannot be neglected as a major factor. It is necessary to improve the working and living environment of submariners through some targeted work, e. g. optimizing submarine design and providing psychological function care, so as to reduce the influence of various factors on the life and work of submariners.
