Description
INTRODUCTION The term stress originates from physical science where it refers to the force placed upon an object to cause straining, bending, or breaking. In the human context and in psychology, however, stress is often used to describe the body's responses to demands placed upon it, whether these demands are favorable or unfavorable. Anything that causes stress is called a stressor. "The military personnel are suffering from occupational stress. A majority (60%) reported suffering from significant work stress. Almost half (42.5%) reported that work stress was a significant contributor to the onset of their mental illness"(1) The aviation environment is a high risk environment and rich in potential stressors such as temperature, acceleration, noise and communication, decompression sickness, vibration, hypoxia, exhaust fumes and motion sickness. Obviously, all these environmental stressors which affecting aviation pilots both civil and military have a negative affect on the safety of flight. For example, "in military aviation the problem of motion sickness is very real and has been responsible for failure during flying training of many hopeful aircrews" (2)
