海军飞行员晕船现状及对飞行作业能力的影响

Seasickness in navy pilots and its influence on pilots’flight operation capability

目的通过对执行过随舰任务的海军飞行员晕船易感性、发生率及晕船对舰上生活、飞行作业能力的影响进行调查,为保障舰载飞行员安全飞行提供参考。方法采用问卷调查方式,调查了41名海军舰载飞行员的体质量指数、体能成绩、吸烟史、父辈敏感性、自我晕船易感指数、晕船症状和严重程度以及晕船对训练生活的影响程度和影响内容。结果(1)飞行员多次航行中,晕船发生率为61.90%~71.79%,认为对自身生活及作业能力有影响的人员占71.43%~87.18%,且晕船严重程度与作业能力影响程度存在明显相关(P<0.01);(2)晕船不仅影响飞行员的饮食、体能、注意力、睡眠、舰上活动等舰上生活(20.00%~86.67%),也影响飞行员作业能力(14.71%~26.67%);(3)晕船发生率与个人易感指数存在明显相关(P<0.05),与体质量指数、体能、吸烟史、父辈易感性无关(P>0.05)。结论晕船严重程度与飞行员航空作业能力密切相关,应在前期训练和执行任务前进行筛选和训练。

Objective To investigate the susceptibility and incidence of seasickness in navy pilots who had been deployed on ships and its influence on their onboard life and flight operation capability,so as to provide reference for ensuring the flight safety of navy pilots.Methods A total of 41 navy pilots were surveyed by a questionnaire on body mass index(BMI),results of fitness test,smoking history,seasickness sensitivity of parents,personal seasickness susceptibility index,symptoms and severity of seasickness,and how and to what extent the seasickness had affected their living and training.Results(1)During the navigations,the incidence of seasickness was 61.90%-71.79%,and 71.43%-87.18% of the pilots felt it had affected their life and flight operation capability.The severity of seasickness was significantly correlated with the severity of its influence on flight operation capability(P<0.01);(2)Seasickness affected not only pilots’onboard life,such as appetite,fitness,attention,sleep,and onboard activity(20.00%-86.67%),but also their flight operation capability(14.71%-26.67%);(3)The incidence of seasickness was significantly correlated with personal seasickness susceptibility index(P<0.05),but it had no correlation with BMI,fitness,smoking history,or seasickness sensitivity of parents(P>0.05).Conclusion There is close correlation between pilots’seasickness severity and their flight operation capability.Therefore,pilots should be screened and trained before undertaking onboard missions.
