BDI와 STAI를 이용한 항공기 조종사의 우울 및 불안성향이 병가일수에 영향을 미치는 요인
The Relationship between Sick Leave and Pilot’s Depression & Anxiety Tendency Using BDI & STAI
Jun-Yong Lee, M.D., Yong-Bo Lee, M.D., Seong-Ho Beck, M.D., Jae-Bum Jo, M.D., Noh-Won Park, M.D., Won-Keun Lee, M.D., Je Lee, M.D., Heon-Kil Lim, M.D., and Jeong-Hyun Kim, M.D.Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2003; 13(4): 178-183Abstract : Background: It is known that depression and anxiety tendency causes physical or social dysfunction. Nowadays, the air travel is increasing as the life condition has been improved so the health of pilots who are in charge of passengers become a very important issue. However, few studies have been done on this issue, especially the relationship between depression & anxiety and medical diseases among them. This study was performed to know the factors affection pilots' sick leave and the correlation between depression & anxiety and sick leave. Methods: Self administered questionaires were obtained from 123 pilots of one of the airline companies at Seoul from 1st April to 30th may 2003. Depression tendency was measured based upon BDI, the level of anxiety was measured by the standardised STAI and obesity was diagnosed if a BMI is over 25 kg/m2. The data on the subjects' age, position, airlines and the days of sick leave were obtained from personal record. Results: All the study subjects were male with the average age of 40.23±7.48 (ranging from 30 to 60). The average age for those who had sick leave was 34.58±3.50 and that for those who had not was 40.48±7.55 and these two average ages showed difference with statistical significance (P value ＜0.001), and the odd ratio of sick leave about age was 0.796 (95% CI: 0.645-0.938). Whether a pilot had sick leave or not, however, was not statistically related to the level of BDI, STAI, flying duty, flying route, and body mass index (P value ＞0.05). Conclusion: This study shows that the average age of sick leave group was lower than that of non-sick leave group (P＜0.001). The level of depression and anxiety were not related to the sick leave. The reasons for this seems to be the fact that pilots are healthier than general population and also they pay more attention to their own health. The younger pilots tended to have more days of sick leave, which might be explain that the older pilots were more cautious about the disadvantages of having sick leave but, the younger pilots tend to have strong individualistic personalities.

Medical Status of Civilian Pilots Over 60 Years of Age
Young Hwan Kwon, M.D.Korean J Aerosp Environ Med 2014; 24(1): 1-4Abstract : In 2009, the Republic of Korea accepted ICAO’s changes to Annex 1 and extended the retirement age of civilian pilots from 60 to 65 years of age. From medical examination data submitted to the Aerospace Medical Association of Korea for the issuance of aviation medical certification in 2012, data for pilots over 60 years of age has been reviewed. A total of 216 pilots (3.5%) over 60 years of age applied for the issuance of aviation medical certificate in 2012 and the average age for the 223 pilots is 61.6±1.4. Among the 216 pilots, 126 (58.3%) pilots were determined to be fit for a flight, 89 (41.2%) were determined to be waiver, and 1 pilot (0.5%) was determined to be unfit. The research shows that civilian pilots over 60 years of age have a higher rate of waiver than pilots below 60 years of age, which also indicates the higher probability of in-flight incapacitation. Therefore, age, health conditions, flight experience, development of flight environment, and aviation safety should be considered first and foremost when making aviation medical decision on civilian pilots over 60 years of age.

Won-Hak Kim, Myeong-Jin Lee, Won-Chang Lee, Young Hwan KwonKorean J Aerosp Environ Med 2017; 27(1): 5-9Abstract : The objective of this study concerns trends in the epidemic pattern and aspects of Japanese encephalitis (JE) in Korea over the last two decades between the 1980s (1980~1988) and 2000s (2004~2013). There were a total of 1,641 nationwide cases and 68 deaths of JE with a cumulative incidence rate (CIR) and cumulative mortality rate (CMR) of 0.431 and 0.018 per 100,000 populations in the 1980s, and a total of 88 cases and 17 deaths of JE with a CIR and CMR was 0.19 and 0.003 in the 2000s. The CIR and CMR in the 1980s was tended to decreased to the 2000s, (P<0.01). However, the case-fatality rate (CFR) in the 1980s (4.1%) was increased from the 1980s to 2000s (19.3%), (P<0.01). The age distribution of JE cases was as follows; an 87.3% of the JE cases involved those younger than 19-years old in the 1980s and an 87.5% of the cases in the 2000s involved those over 40-years old; these were the trending changes from the 1980s to the 2000s, (P<0.01). Consideration should be given to an adult such as swineherd workers or livestock farmers, so that the immunization policy in Korea can benefit them for the better planning of future control strategies.

Analyzing the Differences in Organizational Commitment and Teamwork Competence by MBTI Personality Type of Aviation Department Students
Abstract : Purpose: For students who have already decided on their career path by entering the aviation departments, this study aims to analyze organizational commitment and teamwork relationships using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality type as a tool. Methods: In order to investigate the career choices of aviation workers according to MBTI personality types, a survey was conducted targeting enrolled in and graduating from the aviation departments, and organizational commitment and teawork were analyzed using SPSS WIN 21.0. Results: Sening, Feeling, and Perceiving were mainly found in students who chose cabin crew as their career, whereas students in department of flight crew and aviation maintenance showed high level in Instuition, Thinkg, and Juding. As a result of the analysis, the MBTI type for each career path of aviation students was mainly ENTP for flight crew students, ESFP for cabin crew students, and INTP for aviation maintenance students. Conclusion: Even if students make their choice based on advice, subjective and objective judgments in choosing a career path, there are cases in which the chosen job does not suit them. Therefore, it is hoped that various indicators such as the MBTI will be used to help studnes choose their career path.

Deterioration and Recurrence in Flight Passengers with Ischemic Stroke: An Evidence Based Case Report
Abstract : Ischemic stroke is a cerebrovascular disease characterized by a sudden neurological deficit due to thrombotic or embolic event. The physiological changes during in-flight related to high altitude, hypobaric hypoxic, is a condition that can affect blood circulation in the brain. There was limited evidence to prove the possibility of clinical condition deterioration and/or new onset of recurrent stroke among commercial flight passengers with ischemic stroke. This evidence-based case report aims to determine the possibility of clinical condition deterioration and/or new onset of recurrent stroke on commercial flight passengers with history of ischemic stroke related to hypoxia hypobaric during the in-flight or post-flight period. Three relevant articles were found in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Ingenta library databases. After critical appraisal, all of the relevant articles were shown to be valid, important, and applicability with the level of evidence ranging from III–IV. There were no studies that reported a clinical condition deterioration and/or a new onset of recurrent stroke among commercial flight passengers with ischemic stroke. However, two studies reported a new case of ischemic stroke during in-flight with unknown etiology. Commercial flight passengers with history of ischemic stroke didn’t show any clinical condition deterioration and/or a new onset of ischemi stroke during in-flight or post-flight.

Blockchain: An Overview and Its Applications in Aviation
Abstract : Blockchain is a type of distributed database managed through multiple network transaction details (P2P, Peer to Peer), and transaction information is stored on multiple computers (nodes) connected to the blockchain network instead of storing it in one server. It is an algorithm that binds transaction details to form blocks, connects multiple blocks like a chain, and then copies and distributes them by a large number of people. In the case of the aviation industry, it is worth making full use of blockchain technology to revolutionize existing systems and business processes in terms of cost and transaction transparency, so blockchain can become one of the innovative technologies that will change the paradigm of the aviation industry. As the blockchain market is still in an immature stage and the development of technology is expected in the future, it is necessary to prepare support measures to lead and preempt the global blockchain market in the future through development support and cooperation that can be actively used in the field.

SHELL 모델에 근거한 의료사고 인적요인 분석의 탐색적 연구
An Exploratory Study on Human Factor Analysis of Medical Accidents Using the SHELL (Software, Hardware, Environment, Liveware) Model
Abstract : The SHELL (Software, Hardware, Environment, Liveware) model is one of the models for determining the cause of aviation accidents. The human factors of medical accidents are analyzed through the SHELL model. This study is a case study that analyzed a total of three cases, including two medical accident court precedents and one large fire at a medical institution. In the human factor analysis of cases 1 and 2, the main factors were that liveware (human) violated the duty of care and did not follow the guidelines of the institution. The large fire incident in the hospital in Case 3 was caused by a lack of awareness of the safety of managers, the installation of illegal facilities and environments, lack of medical staff’s response and training, and the condition of patients who were mostly elderly. The liveware at the center of the SHELL model is the most important human factor, and the environment, facilities, and equipment surrounding liveware must be supplemented to prevent future medical accidents.

한국공군의 예측적 안전관리를 위한 FOQA 시스템 고찰 연구
A Study on the Flight Operations Quality Assurance System for Predictive Safety Management of the Republic of Korea Air Force
Abstract : In 1962, British Airways implemented Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) for the first time in order to reduce the rate of increase in aviation accidents, which could increase due to the expansion of the aviation industry and the increase in traffic. After that, in 1995, it was developed for the purpose of collecting/analyzing flight data on technical defects and dangerous situations that occur in actual flights through voluntary participation programs by U.S. airlines. In the private sector, it has been regulated and operated in most countries since early 2000 according to the recommendations of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Federal Aviation Administration. In addition, civil airlines are required to conduct FOQA as part of Safety Management System in accordance with ICAO ANNEX-6. The U.S. Air Force benchmarks the FOQA safety program in the civilian sector and applies it under the name of Military FOQA. Therefore, in the Republic of Korea Air Force, there is a need to ensure flight safety in an objective and scientific way by deriving event parameters for the introduction of the flight data analysis system in order to perform predictive safety management in accordance with the trend of the times.

The Improvement of Pilot Fatigue Management
Abstract : The fatigue of pilots is the most threatening factor in aviation safety internationally, requiring continuous management. In order to prevent aircraft accidents that may occur due to fatigue, this paper analyzes fatigue-related accident cases and previous research and suggests ways to improve the fatigue management of pilots. Problems in major fatigue accidents were active communication failure, lack of leadership of the captain, inadequate contingency management, lack of workload management, and the most important factors in accidents were inadequate decision making of continuing an approach without going around. It is necessary to proactively improve and establish go-around culture in the organization and manage human factors with training and procedures of Threat and Error Management and Crew Resource Management. In order to fundamentally prevent accidents related to fatigue fundamentally, it is necessary to establish Fatigue Risk Management and Safety Management System, and identify the actual threats and errors in the cockpit of the aircraft.

A Study on Health Promotion Management Plan for Air Traffic Controllers and Pilots in Post-COVID-19: Focusing on Singing Bowl Meditation
Abstract : COVID-19 has severely impacted the aviation industry, with air travel declining sharply and airlines cutting capacity as a result. Additionally, many countries have closed their borders to block spread of the virus. Air traffic controllers and pilots have also experienced negative effects, in that the experience required to maintain proficiency has decreased over the past three years. This has resulted in financial problems for airlines and air traffic control facilities, leading to increased job uncertainty and a manpower imbalance. As air traffic volumes begin to increase again, air traffic controllers and pilots responsible for passenger safety may experience extreme stress and anxiety in new situations. To address this problem, healthcare methods are needed to help aviation professionals to overcome stress and reduce anxiety. Meditation can stabilize the autonomic nervous system, promote relaxation and comfort in the mind and body, and could aid in smooth metabolism by suppressing the sympathetic nerves that cause our bodies to feel tension and activating the parasympathetic nerves. However, achieving the benefits of meditation can require time and effort, and general meditation can be challenging for individuals experiencing physical pain. Therefore, singing bowl meditation is recommended, as it can easily induce a meditative state. The sounds produced by Tibetan singing bowls can promote meditation by tuning the alpha waves, theta waves, and gamma waves of electoencephalography. Singing bowl meditation is a beneficial method for individuals with limited time or physical disabilities due to work schedules, such as air traffic controllers and pilots, to easily access meditation.

Fatigue Management Strategy for Shift Workers in the Air Traffic Control
Abstract : Recently, shift work, including night shift, has been widely implemented in modern society. These include workplaces that have to work 24 hours a day for production processes, such as petrochemicals, power plants, and steel industries, as well as industries necessary to secure public services such as gas and electricity. In particular, workers in the aviation sector are mostly engaged in shift work due to the nature of their 24 hours of continuous work. Most shift workplaces comply with legal work regulations, but they fail to take into account workers’ fatigue and focus only on compliance with regulatory requirements. Specifically, shift work needs to provide minimum guidelines for workers’ safety and health. Therefore, this study analyzed and reviewed the current status of shift work in the air traffic control field, where shift work is essential, and presented guidelines for the safety and health care of shift workers. First of all, the international shift work guidelines and domestic laws related to shift work were reviewed, and the characteristics of the shift work system in the air traffic control field were reviewed. For the guidelines, we discussed the shift method, shift speed (direction), shift work hours and hours, night work, and other considerations.
