A Pilot Study on the Incidence of Sea-Sickness in RN Personnel on Two Ships

Abstract

This report presents the main findings of a pilot study investigating sea-sickness amongst the crews of two RN ships undergoing sea-keeping trials during October, 1977. The survey consisted of two parts: the first part was aimed at obtaining an 'historical' picture of sea-sickness incidence in each seaman and his personal treatment of the condition; and the second part assessed the daily occurrence of sea-sickness, the sick-bay attendance and treatments issued by sick-bay staff during the trials period.
