To examine whether spa resort use is associated with the health of Japanese employees.
Cross-sectional survey.
3341 employees (2280 males and 1061 females) aged 20-65 in local government in Japan.
The physical and mental component summary scores (PCS and MCS) of the Short Form 36 (SF-36), sleep quality as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), sickness leave (> or =7 days in the previous year), and hospital admission in the previous year.
The PCS and MCS increased with the frequency of spa resort use in men and women. Less frequent use was associated with poor sleep quality for men and women and sickness leave for men. There was no significant relationship between use frequency and hospital admission.
Spa resort use may have beneficial effects on physical and particularly mental health. Longitudinal research is necessary to clarify the causality.
探讨温泉度假对日本员工健康状况的影响。
横断面调查。
日本地方政府3341名年龄在20至65岁之间的员工（男性2280名，女性1061名）。
健康调查简表（SF-36）的生理和心理综合评分（PCS和MCS）、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）测量的睡眠质量、病假（前一年≥7天）以及前一年的住院情况。
无论男女，PCS和MCS均随温泉度假使用频率的增加而升高。使用频率较低与男女睡眠质量差以及男性病假相关。使用频率与住院情况之间无显著关系。
温泉度假可能对身体尤其是心理健康有有益影响。需要进行纵向研究以阐明因果关系。
