    Sources of stress, coping strategies and social support among seafarers of Leon, Iloilo
    Batin, Hazel C.; Torilla, Hanna Mae C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009-03)
    The study sought to determine the sources of stress, coping strategies, and sources of social support of seafarers while they are on board. Twenty-three (23) male seafarers served as respondents, they were chosen using the convenience sampling. Questionnaires were utilized to study the variables under investigation. Results showed that seafarers faced problems on board related to their work, emotions, family and their work environmental adjustment. When it comes to managing stress on board, respondents used emotion-focused coping rather than problem-focused. They revealed that they received support from their friends and significant others, but their families were their primary social support.
