Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Throughout their career, the medical abilities of airline pilots are regularly assessed. This population is exposed to occupational constraints and risks, in particular psychosocial, and could constitute a population at risk of developing anxiety and/or depressive disorders. However, mental health remains difficult to apprehend in this population because of a strong stigmatization of mental disorders and the risk of loss of medical certification to fly. In the literature, there are very few studies dealing with mental disorders in airline pilots and the results are heterogeneous, with a prevalence of anxiety and/or depressive disorders ranging from 1.9 to 12.6%. There is no study of this type among airline pilots employed in France. Therefore it seems useful to determine the prevalence of anxiety and/or depressive disorders in this population and to describe the co-factors associated with these disorders.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Depressive and anxiety disorders [at baseline]

   Anxiety and depressive disorders as measured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD-S). The HADS consists of 14 items, seven items indicating anxiety and seven items indicating depression. The answer format offers four options, scored with values from 0 to 3. This results in scale values between 0 and 21 for each scale. Three ranges were defined by the original test authors: 0-7 (non-cases), 8-10 (doubtful cases), and 11-21 (cases)
