The holistic nature of well-being is crucial for seafarers, who face unique challenges and spend extended periods away from home. Beyond physical health, mental and emotional well-being plays a vital role in seafarers' overall wellness. Holistic well-being recognises the interconnectedness of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and emphasises the need to address each aspect.

Seafarers should adopt holistic approaches to improve their well-being, such as practising mindfulness, maintaining physical fitness, nurturing social connections, engaging in spiritual activities, and finding occupational satisfaction. It is important to provide seafarers with resources and support, including access to mental health professionals, education on the relationship between physical and mental health, and opportunities for physical activity and social engagement. By prioritising holistic well-being, seafarers can effectively cope with the demands of their work and maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
