    Summary

    The Behavioral Airsickness Management (BAM) program successfully treated recurrent airsickness in 35 of 37 student pilots. This behavioral and cognitive intervention improved flying training outcomes by reducing airsickness symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Aviation Psychology
    • Behavioral Medicine
    • Aerospace Medicine

    Background:

    • Recurrent airsickness traditionally managed with motivation and medication.
    • Student pilots face challenges with airsickness impacting training.
    • Need for effective behavioral and cognitive interventions for airsickness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish an effective behavioral and cognitive intervention for airsickness.
    • To assess the efficacy of the Behavioral Airsickness Management (BAM) program.
    • To reduce airsickness symptoms in student pilots.

    Main Methods:

    • 37 student pilots with recurrent airsickness participated.
    • Program included assessment and rehabilitation.
    • Intervention focused on diaphragmatic breathing, relaxation, and cognitive modification.

    Main Results:

    • 35 out of 37 students successfully returned to flying training.
    • No recurrences of airsickness reported in treated students.
    • High success rate indicates program efficacy.

    Conclusions:

    • The BAM program is an effective intervention for student pilot airsickness.
    • Behavioral and cognitive strategies can successfully manage airsickness.
    • Further research can explore hypotheses for the program's success.
