Abstract

The man who goes to sea is a man in despair. This is still true but today's man of the sea is living a life that contains, at the least, chronic fatigue and overwork; boredom, pirates and danger. Suicide rates of seafarers are high. Many of the recognized risk factors for physical and psychosocial health problems impact on seafarers because of the nature and organization of their work. It has been shown that human misplay is the main cause of ship accident factors from the large number of maritime case analysis at internal and abroad. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze and research the physical and psychological status. The artificial neural network theory is applied to the seafarer health evaluation, according to the seafarer health evaluation index. The corresponding BP neural network for health state evaluation established to evaluate the seafarer physical and psychological health status accurately and effectively. And the guidance and recommendations of physical activity intervention measures were given by seafarer health expert. All these research will help the seafarer to improve the level of physical and psychology health, maintain the normal life order and ensure safety at sea. © 2013 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
