Tiivistelmä
This is a study about seasickness experienced by less experienced seafarers to determine how big part of them are suffering from symptoms and if seasickness affects their work at sea. The study is based on responses to a questionnaire made for students at UAS Novia studying Maritime Management in both the Swedish and English degree programmes.
The thesis includes information on treating and preventing seasickness and about the conditions in which the sickness has occurred. I have also studied how common seasickness is and if previous seafaring experience has an influence on whether you get seasick or not. The information has been gathered from the respondents own experiences.
