*BENEFITS of THE STUDY AIRLINE PARTICIPANTS Early detection of psychological well-being issues among airliners Free screening for blood test (cortisol, blood glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol) Provides psychological well-being profile (cumulative data) of the participants for further intervention Cognitive assessment (processing speed and working memory indexes) Provides solution for Circadian Rhythm disruption through the UTC+8 time zone unification (if possible) Psychological wellbeing indexes (mood state, psychological distress Efficient targeted dietary approach could reduce cardiometabolic risk in ensuring the viability of airliners Sleep test report (sleep quality & quantity) Provide insight on the interplay of lifestyle, physiological functions, and psychological well-being in improving the efficiency of the operational system Honorarium
PARTICIPATION FLOW 1st SESSION Attending for session 1 (9 pm) Screening & Recruitment 8 hours sleep study session Blood sample test Psychological and cognitive tests Disengagement 2nd SESSION Attending for session 2 (after transmeridian flight) Psychological and cognitive test Blood sample test Termination DURATION: January 2019 December 2019
