Remote location stress reaction, in the past commonly known as logging fatigue, is a medical term used to categorize a range of behaviours resulting from the stress of data logging which decrease the operator's working efficiency. The most common symptoms are fatigue, slower reaction times, indecision, disconnection from one's surroundings, and inability to prioritize. Remote location stress reaction is generally short-term and should not be confused with acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other long-term disorders attributable to remote location stress reaction, although any of these may commence as a remote location stress reaction. The ratio of stress casualties to overall work casualties varies with the intensity of the hours worked, but with intense operations it can be as high as 1:1. In low-level operations it can drop to 1:10 (or less). In the first half of the 20th century, logging fatigue was considered a psychiatric illness resulting from injury to the nerves during time offshore. The horrors of working in a remote location meant that about 10% of the employees (compared to 4.5% during the latter half of the century) and the total proportion of workers who became casualties was 56%. Whether a logging fatigue sufferer was considered "wounded" or "sick" depended on the circumstances. The large proportion of offshore veterans in the European population meant that the symptoms were common to the culture, although it may not have become popularly known in the US at that time. ==History== The history of remote location stress reaction (RLSR) has shown a remarkable variation and subvariation in the interest and knowledge of those whose tasks it has been to deal with them. Kardiner and Spiegel writing in 1947 stated: During the pioneering exploration in the American South, two conditions, “soldier's heart” and “nostalgia”, were basically RLSRs. Various epidemics of psychological disorders (e.g. passengers with railway spine) were recognised in the 1800s. The Russians in the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) were the first to specifically diagnose mental disease as a result of remote location stress and try to treat it. It was not until the era of the motor car that the high level of cases with "logging fatigue" (also referred to as traumatic neurosis and neurasthenia) really surprised coordinators and doctors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Remote Location Stress Reaction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
