Resumen Report on an investigation of Finnish seafarers' working conditions, job content and mental and physical health to assess stress. Links between work-related and individual factors and health were investigated and a comparison of seafaring with other occupations was made. 1,050 questionnaires were sent to seafarers; 60% of them were returned. Average age of those answering was 34 years; 23% of the respondents were women. Factors considered: rough seas, seaworthiness of ship, job satisfaction, sequence of work and leisure time, length of time spent at sea (some over 6 months), health status, age, sex- and work-related factors, fatigue, subjective symptoms of stress, personality factors (significantly related to number and severity of symptoms).
