Subjective assessment of working conditions on watercrafts.
Article in International journal of occupational medicine and environmental health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesVessels constitute a unique type of workplace, primarily due to their operation in non-standard external environments and the spatial constraints inherent to their design. As a result, onboard working conditions play a critical role in ensuring the health and safety of crew members. This study aimed to evaluate the subjective assessment of working conditions among seafarers and to analyze the relationship between perceived environmental burdens and job satisfaction. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study was conducted on a group of 300 employees working on inland, port, coastal, and Baltic Sea vessels. A questionnaire survey was used to collect data on the subjective evaluation of working conditions and the perceived intensity of environmental factors such as noise, vibrations, and microclimate. Correlations between these factors and job satisfaction were analyzed.
resultsThe assessment revealed that 84% of surveyed seafarers rated their overall working conditions positively. However, environmental burdens were prevalent: noise (82%), vibrations (71%), and microclimate (65%) were identified as the most common nuisances. A negative correlation was observed between the perception of environmental burdens and job satisfaction.
conclusionsAlthough the general assessment of working conditions on vessels was positive, noise, vibrations, and microclimate remain significant issues affecting the well-being and job satisfaction of seafarers. Preventive measures aimed at mitigating these burdens may contribute to improving occupational health and safety onboard vessels. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2026;39(1):1-15.
