ABSTRACT
O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar possíveis transformações no estilo de vida de velejadores. Caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo descritiva, de campo. Os participantes foram 19 velejadores do Iate Clube da Paraíba, com idade entre 19 e 64 anos, e no mínimo 5 anos de prática. Foi empregado um questionário sociodemográfico e um roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturada. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio do programa AQUAD 6 para indicar a frequência das palavras, categorizadas a partir da análise de conteúdo e organizadas em diagramas. Os resultados apontaram que a maior parte dos velejadores são do sexo masculino e tem ensino superior completo. Observou-se que a prática da vela contribuiu para aquisição de hábitos saudáveis, como a diminuição de vícios e dependência química; além disso, as sensações advindas da ação de velejar foram classificadas em duas categorias: as sensações positivas referente as situações favoráveis; e as sensações negativas enfrentadas nas condições de perigo e ameças. Ambas as condições acarretam melhoria ao estilo de vida ocasionados pelas mudanças nos aspectos emocionais, tanto positivas quanto negativas, decorrentes das situações e desafios encontrados no mar.
The aim of this study was to investigate possible changes in lifestyle of sailors. It is characterized as a qualitative and descriptive research. Participants were 19 sailors from the Iacht Club of Paraiba, aged 19 to 64 years, and at least five years of practice. It used a socio-demographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. Data analysis was performed using the program Aquadis 6 to indicate the frequency of words based on content analysis and organized into maps. The results showed that most of sailors are male and had completed higher education. It was observed that the practice of sailing contributed to acquisition of healthy habits, such as reducing dependence on drugs. Moreover, the feelings arising from the action of sailing were classified into two categories: positive feelings regarding situations and conditions favorable and negative feelings faced dangers and threats. Both conditions lead to improved life caused by changes in the emotional aspects, both positive and negative, arising from the situations and challenges arising from the sea.

OBJECTIVES: The object of this study was to help the clinicians understand the characteristics of the sailors who were admitted to the psychiatric ward through elucidating the transition in the psychiatric aspect of them. METHODS: The results obtained from psychiatric records of 98 sailors who were admitted to department of psychiatry in a general hospital, from March 1, 1985 to Feb. 28, 1994 were compared with the results obtained from 34 sailor inpatients in the same hospital from March 1, 1982 to Feb. 28, 1985. RESULTS: 1) The number of sailor inpatients showed declining tendency and the age of them showed increasing tendency. 2) The number of patients of somatoform disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and organic mental disorder was increased. The number of patients of schizophrenia and mood disorder was decreased. 3) The proportion of inpatients from overseas fishing ship was increased markedly. We must ave a countplan and careful consideration f3r them. 4) We could infer that the groups of low education, crew, overseas fishing ship and below S year of employment duration had high admitted patient occurrence rate. The proportion of psychosis in the groups that were primitive school graduated and 1-5 year of employment duration was high relatively to neurosis(statistically not significant). 5) According to psychological test, the majority of sailor inpatients had constricted thought content, emphasis of responsibility for the family, submissive attitude to an authoritive figure and paranoid tendency. The MMFI profile of neurotic patients showed the tendency of finking bad.
