Abstract:
Objective:To survey the health condition and job burnout level of the officers and sailors on the hospital ship Peach Ark during the "Mission Harmony 2018".Methods:All types of officers and sailors of the "Mission Harmony 2018" on the hospital ship were surveyed by the physical and mental state questionnaire and the job burnout scale.Results:Among all, 96.7% of the officers and sailors deemed the Mission was of great significance and voluntarily joined the Mission. More than 70% of the officers and sailors had adapted themselves well to the environment on board. There were significant differences in the level of job burnout among the officers and sailors of different ages, identities, and academic qualifications ( P <0.05). In terms of job burnout level, there was no significant difference between the officers and sailors who are the only child in his/her family and those who are not, nor was there any significant difference due to different marital status ( P>0.05). However, the officers and sailors aged 30-49 had a higher level of job burnout than those aged 20-29; the officers and sailors with a bachelor’s degree or above had a higher level of job burnout than those with a high school degree or below; and the medical staff had a higher level of job burnout than the sailors, and the above differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). During the "Mission Harmony 2018", family situation, physical health, and adaptability on board were the factors related to the job burnout level of officers and sailors ( P<0.05). The officers and sailors with more family worries, heavy family burdens, and poor health tended to have higher levels of job burnout. Conclusion:The physical and mental health of the officers and sailors on Mission Harmony should be paid close attention to, and their family troubles and difficulties should be known about in time. In particular, those who join long oceangoing mission for the first time and have difficult in adapting themselves to the environment on board should be provided regular psychological counseling service. Meanwhile, the medical staff should also be given more attention. A reasonable task assignment emphasizing the proper balance between work and rest can be helpful to reduce their job burnout level.
