Abstract
The present concept of stress is related with the necessity of triangulation in
research. Triangulation means collecting evidence of stress from at least three sources:
a) precursors – perception and feeling (moderating factors), b) direct consequences, c)
state of health. Is it possible to implement triangulation in the investigations of workrelated
stress at sea?
In the present paper, possibilities of collecting data on the work at sea are analyzed
as regards individual aspects – stages of triangulation. The employment of triangulation
principles to examine stress in persons working at sea requires both time and application
of certain corrections to methodology of examinations carried out in Poland. When
examining seafarers, we deal mainly with subjective information on perception of work
and individual feeling of work-related stress. A proposition to expand the
methodological workshop of examining stress at sea according to triangulation
principles has been presented.
