| Abstract |
The conditions of work of seamen on modern merchant ships are described and, on the basis of the results of a survey of the health of 3,000 seamen, the main health problems encountered are discussed. An analysis is made of sickness rates and the course of adaptation in seamen, with subjects being classified according to the number of 5 year periods they have spent at sea. Healthy seamen adapt more readily to the specific conditions of work at sea, and the degree of adaptation has a direct influence on the seaman's psychological and physical status. |
