Abstract

|
|
This study was designed to evaluate the change of emotional responses of the Navy submariners during prolonged submarine patrol, especially focusing on their anxiety and somatization of the crew(total 38 persons;8 officers and 30 petty officers).
The anxious mood and somatization reaction were rated by Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAS) and its somatization subscale(SOM) 6 times successively, on the 6th day prior to leaving port, and on the 6th, 12th and 18th days after leaving port, and finally on the 6th day after returning to the port with a rest.
HAS total scores and SOM scores were compared individually and respectively at the scheduled
rating points of time. The independent variables were the rank, marital status, functional branch, age and the lengths of service in the Navy and in submarine fleet. The statistical analysis was performed by the repeated measures of Analysis of Variance.
The results suggested that normal physiologic anxious mood and somatization reaction of the
total crew members were significantly increased from the period of about 10 days after the leaving port, as time passed by the progression of prolonged submarine patrol, without any correlation to the difference of submariners´ marital status, age, functional branch and their lengths of service in the Navy and in the submarine fleet. Also, the levels of anxious mood of petty officers were significantly increased than officers unlike the nonsignificance of somatization reaction. The most important factor, which influenced on the increasements of anxious mood and somatization reaction, was the duration of prolonged submarine patrol.
