A Report on the Adoption of Exercise Habits and Coping with Alcohol in People with Alcoholic Parents in Japan: A Comparison Before and After the Spread of COVID-19

Hiromi Ariyoshi*, Kiyoshi Yoshimizu

The purpose of this study was to clarify how the working environment of people with alcoholic parents who work in companies changed before and after the spread of the new corona infection, and how their attitudes toward alcohol changed as their working environment changed. The method used was a case study of a parent with an alcoholic parent who had been continuously supported by an occupational health nurse as a post-medical checkup measure. Changes in the working environment and lifestyle were interviewed by the occupational health nurse, and the case was discussed.

The results showed that those with alcoholic parents were able to abstain from alcohol by introducing an exercise routine and drinking strongly carbonated water when their work environment changed from a sales job to telecommuting. They were also able to continue their sobriety because of the change in their jobs to telecommuting.
