Space crews must be self-reliant to complete long-duration missions successfully. This project involves the development and evaluation of a network of self-guided interactive multimedia programs to train and assist long-duration flyers in the prevention, assessment, and management of psychosocial problems that can arise on extended missions. The system is currently under development and is intended for use both during training and on orbit. A virtual space station 3-dimensional graphic was created to serve as a portal to multimedia-based training, assessment, and intervention resources. Additionally, original content on interpersonal conflict and depression is being developed for the system. Input on the best practices for managing conflict and depression on extended missions was obtained from 13 veteran long-duration flyers, as well as from clinical experts. Formative evaluation of a prototype of the system will be conducted with 10 members of the astronaut corps. Subsequently, the content on conflict and depression will be completed, and the depression self-treatment portion will be evaluated in a randomized controlled trial. Although this study involves developing countermeasures to assist long-duration flyers, it also provides a model that could be applied in many Earthbound settings, both in operational environments and in everyday life.
太空船员必须具备自力更生的能力,才能成功完成长期任务。该项目涉及开发和评估一个由自我引导的交互式多媒体程序组成的网络,以培训和协助长期飞行人员预防、评估和管理在长期任务中可能出现的心理社会问题。该系统目前正在开发中,旨在用于训练期间和在轨运行期间。创建了一个虚拟空间站三维图形,作为基于多媒体的培训、评估和干预资源的入口。此外,正在为该系统开发关于人际冲突和抑郁症的原创内容。从13名资深长期飞行人员以及临床专家那里获取了关于在长期任务中管理冲突和抑郁症的最佳做法的意见。将对该系统的一个原型进行形成性评估,评估对象为10名宇航员。随后,将完成关于冲突和抑郁症的内容,并在一项随机对照试验中对抑郁症自我治疗部分进行评估。虽然这项研究涉及开发帮助长期飞行人员的对策,但它也提供了一个可应用于许多地球上的环境的模型,包括操作环境和日常生活。
