Abstract

It is often believed that seafarers are exposed to both physical and psychological hazards on the job. Nonetheless, unlike physical health, the mental health of marines has received less attention. There is a paucity of systematic, in-depth analyses of the causes and contributing factors of mental health issues. Ninety-six percent of respondents ranked mental health as either very or very essential to their overall health. Sailors believe that COVID-19 has had a significant negative influence on their mental health. There is both a theoretical and practical component to this subject. Some of the theoretical work has focused on determining the prevalence of depression among mariners, its causes, and effective treatments. First aid was the primary treatment for sailors' injuries, while medicine was used for diseases. Findings from this study's third and final section attempt to provide answers to the questions addressed in the study's introduction, including how to combat depression aboard ships and lower the suicide rate among marines.
