466

Results

This study investigated the impact of communication with physicians regarding goal setting on treatment perceptions among 466 patients with MDD. 70.0% of the patients reported discussing treatment goals with their physicians, and the TRUST score (70.0) and treatment satisfaction score (5.0) in this group were significantly higher than those of patients who did not engage in such communication.

Baseline Characteristics

Patients had a mean (standard deviation) age of 47.3 (9.7) years and the majority (69.5%) were male (Table 1). Most (87.1%) were working or studying, either full- or part-time. The median (range) time between diagnosis of MDD and survey participation was 47.0 months (2-334 months, 27.8 years). For 71.7% of patients, this was their first-episode occurrence of MDD, and 98.7% had visited a psychiatrist or psychosomatic medicine clinic. Treatment with antidepressants was reported by 83.0% of patients, of whom 82.4% (319/387) had received monotherapy and 17.6% (68/387) had received combination or multi-drug treatments. Use of nonpharmacological treatment, either stand-alone or in conjunction with antidepressants, was reported by 20.4% of patients. The median (Q1, Q3) PHQ-9 score at the time of questionnaire response was 8.0 (3.0, 12.0), indicating a relatively mild severity of depression.

Participant flow

Of the 795,670 people aged 18 and older registered with the PHR service, 55,100 responded to the survey, of whom 727 self-reported having received treatment for depression in the past year (March 2022-February 2023). The analysis population included 466 patients, after excluding two patients who could not give consent for the secondary use of their claims data, 194 patients whose MDD medical records could not be obtained from the receipt data, and 65 patients who reported a previous suicide attempt(s)

Outcome measures

- Communication with physician: Patients reported whether they discussed treatment plans, prognosis, or goals with their physician during depression treatment, including specific symptoms and lifestyle goals.
- Patient Health Questionnaire (J-PHQ-9): The PHQ-9, validated in Japan, scores depression severity (0-27); higher scores reflect more severe depression.
- Trust Scale (TRUST): The Japanese 5-item TRUST scale (0-100) measured trust in physicians, with higher scores indicating stronger trust.
- SMART-goal score: Goals were evaluated against SMART criteria (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-bound) via a 7-point scale, with total scores ranging from 5-35.
- Treatment satisfaction: Patients rated treatment satisfaction on a 7-point scale; higher scores indicated greater satisfaction.
- Patient perceptions: Participants rated the importance of goal-setting discussions with their doctor and gave reasons for recommending this approach.
