The origin and type of stress among seamen were investigated by means of interviews with three harbor physicians in Rotterdam. The main psychological problems encountered were loneliness, homesickness, and "burn-out" syndrome. The problems were primarily caused by long periods away from home, the decreased number of seamen per ship, and by increased automatization. Quantification of the prevalence and severity of these problems is necessary to elucidate preventive and therapeutic measures.
通过对鹿特丹的三位港口医生进行访谈，对海员的压力来源和类型进行了调查。所遇到的主要心理问题是孤独、思乡和“职业倦怠”综合征。这些问题主要是由长期离家、每艘船上海员数量减少以及自动化程度提高所导致的。对这些问题的患病率和严重程度进行量化，对于阐明预防和治疗措施是必要的。
