Seafarers are the general name of ship staff who sail at sea, and are generally divided into senior seafarers and ordinary seafarers.

Senior crew members are divided into management level and operation level: management level: chief engineer, first mate, second engineer and political commissar (domestic only); Operation level: second pair, second tube wheel, third pair and third tube wheel. Ordinary seafarers are also called support-level boatswain, machinist foreman, Yishui, Ershui, machinist, etc. , including chefs and clerks. At present, most ships along the coast of China still have the post of steward, also called the owner's representative, which should belong to the management level. Seafarers should not only have strong physique and skilled professional skills, but also have good psychological quality, strong adaptability to the environment and contingency ability to deal with emergencies. Seafarers' occupation requires quite high professional quality of employees.

Occupational particularity:

Because sailing away from home, drifting in Tianshui for several months or even nearly a year, the natural environment is changeable and dangerous, and the psychological load of seafarers is extremely heavy.

Sailors have a narrow range of activities, and they spend more than 80% of their time in this land of Xiaotian. Although the duty system stipulates taking turns to rest, it is impossible to have a big environmental change, and the duty cycle is endless, the schedule is different, and the pace of life is impermanent. Every two days of sailing, the time difference exceeds one hour, the circadian rhythm changes constantly, the seasons change constantly, and the biological rhythm of seafarers changes frequently, causing anxiety, boredom and various diseases.

Workplace, social place and personal area are inseparable and unchangeable on board. Changes without role transformation are not conducive to mental health.

Monotonous work, single male group and monotonous environment cause seafarers' sexual depression, boredom, fatigue and insecurity; They are emotionally unstable, easily angered, attacked, quarreled and fought, indifferent, stubborn, shrinking, dull, and all kinds of psychological troubles, leading to bad behavior and diseases.

Is it true that sailors don't want their wives to work?

I think it is precisely because seafarers have special jobs and great psychological pressure that they feel insecure and lost to their families. In fact, joking, sailors are not at home every day, probably afraid that their hard-won wives will go out to work and be lured away by the outside!

After all, this is no different from a long-distance relationship! (Of course, this is a joke! It is somewhat true, depending on the understanding of netizens ~)
