The Mediating Role of Life Satisfaction in the Relationship Between Mindfulness Level and Perceived Stress Level in Pilots
Abstract
Airline pilots face a high-stress profession, with demands for intense concentration, adapting to changing weather, and making quick decisions to avoid flight disruptions impacting their stress levels. Understanding these stress factors can improve working conditions and indirectly boost flight safety. The study aims to explore how cognitive and affective mindfulness, life satisfaction, and pilots’ perceived stress levels interrelate, potentially leading to better working conditions and enhanced flight safety. For this purpose, 130 commercial airline pilots completed questionnaires regarding their life satisfaction, perceived stress, cognitive and affective mindfulness, and sociodemographic characteristics. Correlation analyses were performed to explore the relationships between variables, while independent sample T-tests and one-way ANOVA were utilized to examine demographic comparisons, and mediational analyses were conducted to assess the mediating role of life satisfaction. The findings indicate a significant relationship among cognitive and affective mindfulness, life satisfaction, and perceived stress. Furthermore, the research hypothesis positing a significant mediating role of life satisfaction in the relationship between cognitive and affective mindfulness and perceived stress was supported. The findings provide a basis for enhancing pilots’ psychological health through the improvement of stress coping strategies and the development of specialized support programs in the civil aviation sector.
