| 26 | Mars analog astronauts undergo a rigorous selection and training process to ensure crew | ||
| 27 | cohesion and mission success. However, even the healthiest, strongest individuals may face | ||
| 28 | psychological challenges due to various stressors in extreme or abnormal | ||
| 29 | environments. In our effort to further human space exploration in a safe and effective way, | ||
| 30 | we must thoroughly understand and protect the psychological well-being of the crew, | ||
| 31 | before, during, and after the analog mission. | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | The PsychScale experiment aims to study crew member anxiety and depression levels before, | ||
| 34 | during and after the mission in order to better understand psychological well-being in response | ||
| 35 | to known and unknown environmental stressors. It further aims to study the correlation between | ||
| 36 | crew anxiety and depression levels and the possibility of a “third quarter phenomena” (TQP) | ||
| 37 | whereby the first quarter of the mission may be characterized by crew excitement or anxiety, the | ||
| 38 | second quarter by boredom and depression, and the third quarter by increased emotional | ||
| 39 | outbursts. | ||
| 40 | This experiment uses the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) – an internationally | ||
| 41 | recognized, validated questionnaire on anxiety and depression. Additionally, two open-ended | ||
| 42 | qualitative questions that allow the participant to inform the scientific team of any issues related | ||
| 43 | to individual or crew mental health are included. | ||
