Seafarers’ Descriptions of the Influence of Non-Technical Skills Training within Maritime Safety
2022
Overview
Non-technical skills training (NTST) is a mandatory class for shipboard deck and engineering officers, and those looking to upgrade only. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore the seafarers’ descriptions of the influence of non-technical skills training (NTST) within maritime safety. This study emerged from a gap in the existing literature regarding a need to create cohesion and a shared identity for seafarers to lower the human-error rate on ships from an astounding 80 to 96%. This research explores Albert Bandura’s social cognitive theory (SCT) of triadic reciprocal determinism (TRD) of behavioral, personal/cognitive, and environmental factors within maritime safety. The research questions were created to explain how seafarers describe the non-technical skills training (NTST) of social cognitive theory (SCT) within maritime safety. Purposive sampling was used to recruit a minimum of 20 seafarers for online questionnaires. Data were collected using multiple-choice questions, semi-structured questions, and ten individual Zoom interviews. Thematic analysis was used to code the four themes which include safety within the maritime industry, behavioral factors, cognitive and personal behaviors, environmental factors. The study findings are that training, including the themes outlined from non-technical skills (NTS), would be beneficial to all crew members, not just those required to take the course. Future research should be additional training methods from aspects of social cognitive theory, which can continue to aid in lowering the accident rate.
