AI Article Synopsis
- - This study looked into how well cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) was being used in Japan under the national health insurance scheme from 2010 to 2015.
- - Results showed that only 60,304 patients received CBT during this period, with a decline in usage across most regions, and significant differences in access between prefectures.
- - The authors concluded that CBT usage remained stagnant over the six years, indicating the need for further research to understand the barriers to its dissemination in Japan.
Article Abstract
Objectives: To clarify the dissemination status of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in Japan under the national health insurance scheme.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Setting: National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan.
Participants: Patients who received CBT under the national health insurance scheme from fiscal years (FY) 2010 to 2015.
Primary And Secondary Outcome Measures: We estimated the change rate and the standardised claim ratio (SCR) for the number of patients receiving CBT and analysed the association between the CBT status and several regional factors.
Results: We found that (a) a total of 60 304 patients received CBT during the study period; (b) the number of patients receiving CBT was highest in the first year (-1.8% from FY2010 to FY2015); (c) the number of patients who received CBT per 100 000 population decreased (or remained at zero) in most prefectures (32 out of 47); (d) there was a maximum 424.7-fold difference between prefectures in the standardised claim ratio for CBT and (e) the number of registered CBT institutions was significantly associated with the number of patients who received CBT.
Conclusions: The provision of CBT did not increase in the first 6 years (FY2010-2015) after its coverage in Japan's national health insurance scheme. Further studies including a questionnaire survey of registered CBT institutions are required to get more detailed information on the dissemination of CBT in Japan.

Introduction: While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) remains a highly effective psychotherapy approach for managing Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), its potential is hindered by workforce shortages and access barriers. In response to these challenges, Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT) has emerged as an innovative solution that integrates the core CBT structure with technology. In iCBT, educational materials, therapist communication and progress dashboards can be centralized in a digital format, and delivered in a self-guided, therapist-guided or blended approach.

Electronic address:
Background: Studies of salivary cortisol levels in psychosis have yielded inconsistent findings, which may be attributable to heterogeneity in cortisol measurement, illness stage, and approaches to dealing with sampling factors and potential confounders. To address these issues, we performed an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis comparing individuals at different stages of psychosis to controls using five different salivary cortisol measures and explored potential effect modifiers.
Methods: Salivary cortisol data from five London-based cohorts were used to derive the cortisol awakening response, total daytime cortisol output, basal cortisol, and diurnal slope measures (wake-to-evening and peak-to-evening).

Aim: To review the existing literature relating to nurse competence in safe medication management practices for biologics, identify evidence, and develop a competency framework to clarify the role of nurses in these practices.
Background: With the widespread use of biological agents in disease treatment, ensuring the safe and economical use of high-cost medicines is particularly important. Even though nurses are essential in patient care, detailed knowledge regarding their competence and role in the safe administration of biologics is lacking.

Department of Infectious Diseases, NHO Nagoya Medical Center, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.
No updated data on people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Japan have been available since 2015, leaving a critical gap in understanding the current status of care and treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a nationwide evaluation of the second and third goals of the "90-90-90 target" defined by UNAIDS between 2016 and 2020. The study utilized data from approximately 360 core hospitals through structured questionnaires and the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups (NDB).
