Abstract
The purpose of this study is to contribute to the study of the prevention of diseases and promotion of health of ocean going vessel crew members, through the medical diagnosis and disease classification efforts of this study. From the second half of 2016 to 2017, the diagnosis and health characteristics of 195 crew members were collected through counseling, treatment, and emergency care for about 1 year and 2 months. As a result, it is noted that the incidence of diseases was in the order of urticaria (5.6%), lumbar sprain (4.1%), acute gastroenteritis (3.1%) and anxiety (3.1%). In categorical review, the incidence of musculo-skeletal disease was the most common (25.1%) which was followed by skin disease (17.9%) and digestive disease (11.3%). In addition, the disease that was noted as was the most common in the under 30 years old category, and the incidence of the disease was high in the crew group. Finally, there was a difference between the pathogenesis (trauma vs disease, etc.) (p <.001) and the type of vessel (merchant ship and fishing vessel) (p <.005) as noted in this case.
