“…Being satisfied with one's own health was found mostly (46%) to be at a good level (very satisfied). Leszczynska et al (2014) [35] noted that there was a strong significant correlation between the presence of health issues and dynamics of stress, and that there was a significant negative relationship between perceived level of health and again dynamics of stress. They also reported the perceived health median as 8 (between 0 and 10).…”

“…In the discussions about work in an offshore environment, including drilling platforms, the concept of mental stress and the share and role of psychosocial factors as its sources should be given special attention ( Leszczyńska & Jeżewska, 2010 ; Leka, 2004 ). Exposure to detrimental physical and psychosocial factors takes place concurrently.…”

“…The drilling rig employees are potentially exposed to the eruption of oil, gas, or fire, which puts them under the impact of permanent stress. They are also exposed to dangers related to offshore drilling operations, ‘access’ to the workplace by helicopter or, in the case of adverse weather conditions, by ship ( Leszczyńska & Jeżewska, 2010 ; Leszczyńska, 2016 ; Wang & Chen, 2020 ).…”

BackgroundThe work on offshore rigs is related to a number of physical and mental burdens. The subject matter of the paper refers to the assessment of the relation between the mode of adapting to occupational stress and the feeling of well-being among the employees of offshore rigs in Poland.Participants and procedureThe research procedure is a longitudinal study and encompasses analysis of data between 1993 and 2014. 167 employees of the Polish offshore rigs were studied: all of them were male and the average age was 42. Measuring tools were used to as-sess the subjective occupational stress, psychosocial work conditions, evaluation of physical and mental well-being and styles of coping with stress.ResultsThe perceived level of stress directly affects mental well-being (r = .19, p = .048): the higher the level of stress, the worse is the mental well-being (β = –.30). In a considerable part, the dependence between occupational stress and mental well-being may be clarified by the impact of the style of coping with occupational stress and the rate of stress dynamics (r = .32, p = .004). The higher the share of task-oriented coping style as compared to the emotion and avoidance-oriented style, the higher is the self-reported mental well-being. The higher the probability of affiliation with the group reporting a decrease in stress, the higher is the self-reported mental well-being. Perceiving stress has no direct or indirect impact on physical well-being (β =. 09; β = .08; β = –.11).ConclusionsA dependence exists between the process of adapting to stress and the level of the self-reported mental well-being of the rig employees. The higher the probability of adaptation to the difficult situation at work in a way that the self-reported stress is reduced, the higher the self-reported mental well-being. Perceiving stress bears no direct or indirect impact on the physical well-being.

“…Stress is also a risk factor for astronauts undergoing long duration space travel that has physiological and psychological implications [22]. Not only do daily stressors lead to irritability, short temperedness, and a lack of concentration, but psychological stress can have long-term effects on an individual's sympathetic nervous system [7,9].…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND:This study introduces the contributions of occupational science (OS) to the preparation and support of astronauts during long duration space exploration. Given the hostile environment of space, it is not surprising that there is grave deterioration of both physical and mental health when off Earth. However, OS, through occupational therapy (OT), can identify strategies that maintain health and minimize disruptions in task performance for mission success. OBJECTIVE: To determine the gaps in NASA's preparation of astronauts for long duration space exploration and the viable contributions of OT. Because occupational therapists are trained to address deficits and modify environments to support meaningful engagement in occupations, the OT practitioner is well suited to address the disabling conditions astronauts experience in space. METHODS: A literature review revealing the challenges of deep space travel on humans was completed. A survey was also sent to (N = 170) occupational therapists worldwide to identify opinions about the profession's involvement in deep space exploration. RESULTS: Ninety-seven percent (N = 163) of the participants believed that OS can inform long duration space travel. Approximately ninety-eight percent (N = 166) of respondents believed that OT interventions can be used on space travelers during long duration space flights. CONCLUSION: OT interventions can be implemented in any phase of space flight to increase the likelihood of mission success and astronaut safety and well-being.
