Abstract

Background: An innovative medical simulation course was offered to seafarers during their statutory medical education refresher course. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, they experienced difficulties dealing with mariners' mental health problems.

Materials and methods: One hundred and fifty-three seafarers underwent training at the C3S medical training centre in Lorient Hospital. At the end of the module they were asked to fill in a questionnaire.

Results: Ninety-seven per cent of them were satisfied with their training. They felt that their training had given them confidence to deal with these problems when returning to sea. On this occasion, we tested their feelings on the psychological consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on board and compared their answers with the data available in our telemedical assistance service (TMAS) and in the literature.

Conclusions: Simulation training is an appreciated and effective educational tool for raising awareness and training medical managers in psychological or psychiatric situations.

新冠肺炎疫情期间，通过健康模拟开展船上心理困扰检测培训。

背景:在海员法定医学教育进修课程中，创新性地开设了医学模拟课程。在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间，他们在处理海员的心理健康问题方面遇到了困难。材料和方法:153名海员在Lorient医院的C3S医疗培训中心接受了培训。在模块结束时，他们被要求填写一份调查问卷。结果:97%的学员对培训满意。他们觉得他们的训练给了他们在返回海上时处理这些问题的信心。在这次活动中，我们测试了他们对船上COVID-19大流行心理后果的感受，并将他们的答案与我们的远程医疗援助服务(TMAS)和文献中提供的数据进行了比较。结论:模拟训练是一种有效的教育工具，可以提高医务人员对心理或精神疾病的认识和培训。
