Abstract:
Objective To investigate the condition of flight fatigue and its relationship with mental health in the pilots of base transformation on the purpose of providing the reference for comprehensive intervention during the transformation.Methods Both 90 transformed and 90 nontransformed pilots were tested by fatigue assessment instrument (FAI) and symptom checklist 90 (SCL 90).Thirty-eight transformed and 38 non-transformed pilots were selected to continuously record ECG for 1 h for the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV).Correlation analysis was done on the condition of fatigue and mental health.Results ①FAI score results:the total score and factor 1,2,and 3 of FAI in transformed pilots was significantly higher than that in non-transformed pilots (t=1.981-4.570,P＜0.05).②HRV test:the standard deviation of R-R intervals,root mean square of the successive R R intervals difference,total power,low frequency,high frequency in transformed pilots was all significantly lower than that in non-transformed pilots (t=4.475-8.644,P＜0.01).The ratio of low frequency to high frequency of transformed pilots was significantly higher than that of non-transformed pilots (t=7.681,P＜0.01).③The total score and the score of factor 1,2,and 3 in FAI showed varied positive correlation with the total score and each score of factors in SCL-90 (r=0.165-0.452,P＜0.01 or 0.05).The score of factor 4 in FAI had weak positive correlation with the total score of SCL-90 and the score of sensitivity in interpersonal relationship,depression,hostility (r=0.158-0.175,P＜0.05).Conclusions The severity of flight fatigue in transformed pilots was significantly higher than that in non transformed pilots.The condition of flight fatigue is closely correlated with mental health.We should carry out comprehensive intervention based on psychological intervention to ensure the flight safety during transformation.
