日本的自杀率是工业化国家中最高的，特别是在20世纪90年代的经济危机之后，自1998年以来每年有超过30000人自杀。以前的研究已经指出了过度工作和/或工作压力与死亡和其他健康风险之间的关系，并提出了几种可能的途径来释放压力和情绪负担，包括自杀意念，通过与亲密的朋友，家人和专家交谈，如咨询师和医生。本研究的目的是探讨酒吧和居酒屋酒馆的所有者和管理者在缓解中年和老年日本男性的压力方面的潜在作用。2009年12月，向长崎县大村市注册的所有酒吧和居酒屋发布了自填问卷。在260家酒吧和居酒屋中，共有103名业主和经理完成了问卷调查。超过一半的受访者经历过与客户就客户的各种个人和私人问题进行对话。最常提及的问题是工作问题（56.3%）。无论受访者的性别和年龄如何，在酒吧和居酒屋工作经验较长的人更有可能让顾客向他们吐露债务/贷款等财务问题（调整后的比值比：5.48，p = 0.033）。酒吧和居酒屋的老板和经理可以充当“听众”，中年和老年人可以随意地谈论他们的个人问题，而不必担心利益冲突，并指导那些需要专业咨询的人。
Japanese suicide rate is one of the highest among industrialized nations, especially following the economic crisis of the 1990s, with more than 30000 suicides every year since 1998. Previous studies have pointed out to relationships between overwork and/or job stress, and death and other health risks, and suggested several possible avenues for releasing stress and emotional burden, including suicidal ideation, through talking with intimate friends, family, and specialists, such as counselors and physicians. The present study was performed to explore the potential role of owners and managers of bars and izakaya-pub establishments in mitigating stress of middle-aged and elderly Japanese men by having informal conversations with them. A self-administered questionnaire was posted to all bars and izakaya-pubs registered in Ohmura-city, Nagasaki prefecture, in December 2009. Among 260 bars and izakaya-pubs, a total of 103 owners and managers completed the questionnaire. More than half of the respondents experienced engaging in conversations with their customers regarding customers’ various personal and private issues. The most frequently talked about problem was that regarding work (56.3%). Regardless of sex and age of the respondents, those with longer working experience in bar and izakaya-pub establishments were more likely to have had customers confiding in them financial problems including debts/loans (adjusted odds ratio: 5.48, p = 0.033). Owners and managers of bars and izakaya-pubs may be in a position to act as “listeners”, to whom middle-aged and elderly men can talk about their personal problems casually and without having to worry about conflict of interests, and direct those in need to professional counseling.
