Methods: A total of 335 sailors were administered the SCL-90. The results were compared with Chinese norms for the army and general population. Results: The SCL-90 total score of sailors was 125.35±35.12. The number of endorsed positive symptom items and the mean score of positive symptom items were 24.56±17.88 and 2.44±0.38,respectively. The total score, the mean factor score, the positive symptom score and overall endorsement for positive symptoms were significantly lower when compared with the Chinese norms for the army ( P <0.001). The mental health status of sailors was significantly better than that of the general population. Conclusion: There remains significant need for strengthening mental heath education for promoting mental health of sailors.展开更多
