This study offers an insight regarding seafarers' perceptions of factors of psychological distress on shipboard. To identify stressors on maritime workers, a cross-sectional survey was conducted targeting a population of workers of Italian shipping companies sailing across the world. The research aimed to investigate workers' demographic and professional characteristics and the ways they influence perception of job fatigue, using an Italian version of the Karasek questionnaire. Of the involved seafarers, 80.1% returned the questionnaire, yielding a mean level of perceived job demand of 32.8 points and a mean level of perceived decision latitude of 65.5 points; 37.2% of interviewees stated having a scarce level of decision latitude. The results of the multivariate logistic regression models allowed assessment of the seafarers' characteristics related to their perception of job strain. These results confirm the need for measures that prevent stress factors in maritime workers.
本研究提供了关于海员对船上心理困扰因素认知的见解。为了确定海事工作者的压力源，针对意大利航运公司在全球航行的员工群体进行了一项横断面调查。该研究旨在利用意大利版的 Karasek 问卷，调查员工的人口统计学和职业特征以及它们影响工作疲劳认知的方式。在参与调查的海员中，80.1% 返回了问卷，得出的工作需求感知平均水平为 32.8 分，决策自由度感知平均水平为 65.5 分；37.2% 的受访者表示决策自由度水平较低。多元逻辑回归模型的结果有助于评估与海员工作压力认知相关的特征。这些结果证实了采取措施预防海事工作者压力因素的必要性。
