Pilot Peer Support Programs and Pilot Mentoring in Civil Aviation

Tuba Nur Yazıcı

With the reduction of capacity in the aviation industry, pilots may lose their jobs or have to work in more difficult conditions. Pilots should be aware of the risk factors that may threaten their mental health in order to maintain their performance. This is of critical importance in terms of both flight safety and performance. In this respect, it is of great importance for pilots to maintain their well-being. In addition to performance, pilots' well-being levels affect their relationships with others in the work environment and their private lives. Therefore, it is anticipated that pilots may need resiliency, well-being, and coping skills more than in normal conditions. It is very important that a positive work environment be provided through programs like mentoring, and that pilot support programs are prioritized because of their positive effects on the psychological resilience and well-being of pilots. It is predicted that peer support and mentoring programs will be beneficial and effective for pilots who hesitate to receive psychological support due to the fear of being labeled with a psychiatric diagnosis and the possible effects of such a diagnosis on the job. Given this context, this chapter discusses the essential elements that should be included in pilot peer support and mentoring programs.

Sivil Havacılık Sektöründe Pilot Akran Destek Programları ve Pilot Mentörlüğü

Tuba Nur Yazıcı

Pilotlar performanslarını sürdürebilmek açısından ruh sağlıklarını tehdit edebilecek risk faktörlerinin bilincinde olmalıdır. Bu durum hem uçuş güvenliği hem de performansları açısından kritik bir önem taşımaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, pilotların iyi oluşlarını sürdürmeleri büyük bir önem arz etmektedir. Performansa ek olarak, pilotların iyi oluş düzeyleri çalışma ortamında ve kendi özel hayatlarında diğerleriyle olan ilişkilerini önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Bu yüzden, pilotların dayanıklılık, iyi oluş ve başa çıkma becerilerine ihtiyaç duyabileceği öngörülmektedir. Pilotların çalışma ortamlarının psikolojik sağlamlık ve iyi oluşlarını destekleyecek şekilde yapılandırılması oluşturacağı pozitif etkileri bağlamında oldukça önemlidir. Psikiyatrik bir tanı ile etiketlenme korkusundan ve işe olası etkilerinden dolayı psikolojik destek almaktan çekinen pilotlara yönelik olarak akran destek programlarının ve mentörlük çalışmalarının faydası ve etkisinin olabileceği öngörülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, pilot akran destek programının içerdiği adımlar ve dikkat edilmesi gereken hususlar ile mentörlük sürecine yönelik hususlar bu bölümde ele alınmıştır.
