Gleaning from Diaries in Long-Duration Isolation

Personal journals, open-ended questions, and the freedom from constraints typically imposed by feedback instruments used for quantitative analysis are invaluable for observing and expressing crewmembers' psychological status, as well as inter-crew and intercultural dynamics. Personal journals can also provide a basis for constructive intervention by ground personnel, researchers, or psychologists. Insights from this study can be applied to current challenges, such as the adoption of self-isolation as prevention against spread of COVID-19. Kass JR, Kass R.
