(Via Medica, 2021) Demir, Ismail Hakki; Oruc, Deniz; Bayram, Serap
Background: The purpose of this study is to determine the quality of life (QOL) of Turkish seafarers and its relationship with the factors affecting it. Materials and methods: A total of 103 Turkish seafarers completed an Employee Assessment Form and WHOQOL-BREF Scale. Results: The majority of the seafarers who participated in the study were males (98%) of the age group 3648 (44%). Among the seamen, 58% smoked and 42% used alcohol. The rate of exercising was 29% and the mean body mass index was 27.63 +/- 3.78. Average scores of WHOQOL-BREF sub-dimension are 15.99 +/- 1.83 for physical (PHY), 15.77 +/- 2.26 for psychological (PSY), 15.50 +/- 2.73 for social (SOC), 14.17 +/- 2.25 for environmental domain (ENV), and finally 14.18 +/- 2.13 for ENV-TR. Conclusions: According to the results of this study, it is possible to argue that Turkish seafarers have a weak awareness towards improving their health and QOL in their working life and that they need assistance in improving their QOL, especially in psychological and social aspects.
