Reducing occupational stress in air traffic control
In the dynamic nature of air traffic control, which requires multiple safety decisions in rapid succession, air traffic controllers' stress results in fatigue. Abstract. Stress can impact multiple psychological and physiological human domains. To better understand the effect of stress on cognitive performance, and whether this effect is related to an autonomic response to stress, the Trier Social Stress Test TSST was used as a testing platform together with -Choice Reaction Time Task. Technology is constantly changing. Lack of social support. Insufficient control over work-related decisions. Conflicting job demands and unclear performance expectations. In most cases, multiple stressors combine to cause our work-related stress, which varies in severity throughout the day and even during our career. Occupational stress is a known health risk for a range of psychological, behavioral and medical disorders and diseases. Organizations and individuals can alleviate these conditions through preventive stress management and improved well-being. This article primarily reviews the known evidence for health risks related to occupational stress. Background: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the level of perceived stress and occupational burnout in groups of Polish maritime navigators and air traffic controllers. ANSPs can also offer support programs to help air traffic controllers cope with the stress of their job. These programs may include counseling services, stress management workshops, and peer support. Free Flight Air Traffic Control System: pros and cons. As a result of the automation of ATC, pilots and crews will have more control, including conflict management. Air traffic controller Shift work and aviation safety. The aim of the research is to study the consequences of shift work on overall airport safety. Resume. Objective: To investigate the occupational stress status of air traffic controllers (ATC) and analyze the influencing factors. Methods: By using the cluster sampling method, in a. The greatest danger of occupational stress is physical fatigue, which affects both the performance and efficiency of air traffic controllers. Fatigue causes slower reasoning, incorrect judgments and inefficient response to stimuli. This is affected by shift work, which is disruptive to employees due to the rapidly changing schedules and shifts.
