A robust level of self-awareness and self-acceptance is crucial for flight cadets. In this study, a total of 106 flight cadets from various grades and flight training sites were assessed using the self-awareness and self-acceptance scale. The scales were optimized through item analysis, reliability, and validity assessments. The finalized scales demonstrated an acceptable level of reliability and validity. Upon analyzing the collected data, it was observed that the overall self-awareness and -acceptance levels among the evaluated pilot students fell within the normal range. However, identifying positive symptoms directly proved challenging. The tested flight cadets exhibited moderate symptoms across each factor, with instances of severe symptoms in academic self-awareness. Notably, flight cadets trained abroad exhibited a lower level of self-awareness and -acceptance compared to those trained in China. But this phenomenon was not reflected in grade difference. Regression analysis revealed that physical and emotional self-awareness dimensions accounted for 62% of the variations in the psychological dimension, while passive self-acceptance explained 72% of the changes in active self-acceptance. Finally, in view of the issues found in the research, corresponding management measures and recommendations are presented to enhance the self-awareness and -acceptance levels of flight cadets.

“…It is further believed that the COVID-19 pandemic has dampened the tourism industry and family tourism consumption due to travel restrictions, quarantine policies for suspected infections, and social distancing. The crash in international tourism due to the coronavirus pandemic also caused a considerable loss of more than $4 trillion to the global GDP for 2020 and 2021, according to a UNCTAD report published on 30 June ( 30 ). Likewise, the study of Martin et al ( 31 ), using the dynamic CGE modeling framework, also revealed a sharp decline in number of tourists for the year 2020.…”

“…Consequently, government and social organizations have taken targeted intervention measures, such as providing psychological services, supporting the development of the Internet economy, promoting flexible employment of residents, and timely disclosure of COVID-19 infection information (24)(25)(26). In addition, several studies have focused on exploring the phenomenon by taking samples of respondents such as doctors, workers in quarantine hotels & airports, and customs inspectors, who are more vulnerable to COVID-19 and are more likely to have serious mental health issues (16,(27)(28)(29)(30). Therefore, although the influence mechanism of COVID-19 on residents' mental health is more complex, there is a clear causal relationship between them.…”

ObjectiveCOVID-19 has negatively influenced industrial development, family consumption, and residents’ mental health. Unfortunately, it has not yet been studied whether this adverse situation can be alleviated after the relaxation of the COVID-19 control policy (RCC). Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of the RCC on the resident’s mental health and the mediating effect of family tourism consumption.Methods By using the PSM and mediating effetc model to research the panel data of two periods (April 2021 and April 2023) for Shaanxi province, China.ResultsThe RCC negatively inhibited the mental health severity of residents, and the mental health severity decreased by 0.602. In particular, the RCC showed the most substantial negative effect on residents’ stress, followed by anxiety and depression. Meanwhile, it is found that the impact of the RCC on the mental health of residents is highly heterogeneous. The RCC indicates a linear significant effect on the mental health of residents under 60 years of age, while the results were found insignificant for residents above 60 years of age. Meanwhile, the RCC’s improvement effect on urban residents’ mental health is greater than that of rural residents. In addition, mechanism analysis showed that tourism consumption plays a mediating role in the influence of the RCC on the mental health of residents, and the mediating effect accounted for 24.58% of the total effect.ConclusionBased on the findings, the study proposes that government and policymakers should strengthen mental health intervention, improve access to mental health counseling, stimulate economic development, expand the employment of residents, and track the mutation of the novel coronavirus.

“…During the pandemic, it was found that the revenue of the aviation industry "plummeted by 55 percent, setting the sub sector back, in nominal terms, 16 years-to 2004" (Bouwer et.al., 2022). Along with the industry being impacted by quarantine, when these pilots were quarantined for ten weeks or more, it was found that 28.3% of pilots reported moderate depression symptoms while 12.5% reported severe symptoms (Stadler, 2022).…”

This study analyzed the specific effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the mental health of airline pilots. Using an exploratory research methodology, the researcher sent a self-designed questionnaire to seventeen (17) currently registered pilots that flew before, during, and after the pandemic. The intent of the survey was to measure anxiety levels and explore causes of anxiety. The results showed that there were three (3) common causes of post-pandemic anxiety: lack of job security, decreased social interactions, and lack of control. This study analyzed mental health, which is less commonly talked about within the aviation industry. Future research should continue to explore the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on airline pilots, and how to manage a comparable situation again in the future.
