Social, Family, and Behavioral Health Support NSCOR

Last Published: 07/31/19 10:05:33 AM (Central)

Task Book: Entry Unavailable
Principal Investigator: TBD

Short Title: Family and Social Support

Responsible HRP Element: Human Factors and Behavioral Performance

Collaborating Org(s):

Other:

Funding Status: Planned-Funded - Task expected to be within budget

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Directed

Aims:
Long duration exploration missions will require extended separation from a crewmember’s family and friends, which can negatively impact crew health and performance. Current methods and technologies are likely insufficient to support future long duration autonomous crews. This task will be a research study to develop and test the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a protocol of a pre-, in- and, post- flight support including family and non-family social support for the promotion of astronaut behavioral health.

This task will contribute to gap closure by providing recommendations/requirements for an effective psychosocial support system that replicates what is currently available and acceptable for ISS crewmembers but is feasible for exploration class missions.

Mappings

Risk of Adverse Cognitive or Behavioral Conditions and Psychiatric Disorders

CBS-BMed1: We need to identify and validate countermeasures that promote individual behavioral health and performance during exploration class missions.

CBS-BMed3: We need to identify and quantify the key threats to and promoters of mission relevant behavioral health and performance during autonomous, long duration and/or long distance exploration missions.

BMed8: We need to understand how personal relations/interactions (family, friends and colleagues) affect astronauts’ behavioral health and performance during exploration class missions.

BMed9: We need to understand long term astronaut health for long duration exploration missions and find the best methods to promote long term post-mission behavioral health.

Social, Family, and Behavioral Health Support NSCOR

Risk of Performance and Behavioral Health Decrements Due to Inadequate Cooperation, Coordination, Communication, and Psychosocial Adaptation within a Team

Team Gap 3: We need to identify a set of countermeasures to support team function for all phases of autonomous, long duration and/or distance exploration missions.

Team Gap 5: We need to identify validated ground-based training methods that can be both preparatory and continuing to maintain team function in autonomous, long duration, and/or distance exploration missions.
