Interestingly, no study has examined the experience of patients attending an MTM. The present study addressed two questions: Does the MTM cause anxiety/depression for patients who are present? Are patients satisfied at the end of the meeting? METHODS: The study included all patients attending an MTM, who agreed to participate in the study and who fully completed two questionnaires. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and a satisfaction questionnaire were filled out at three time-points: T0 before MTM, T1 at end of MTM, and T2 1 month after MTM for the HADS; and T1 and T2 for the satisfaction questionnaire. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the number of patients experiencing anxiety between T0 and T1 (P=0.6085), T0 and T2 (P=1) or T1 and T2 (P=1). Likewise, there were no significant differences in the number of patients in depression between T0 and T1 (P=0.9397), T0 and T2 (P=1) or T1 and T2 (P=1). Mean satisfaction was good (question 14 on the satisfaction questionnaire: 8.7/10 at T1 and 7.7/10 at T2), but with a significant decrease between T1 and T2 (P=0.0009: i.e.,<0.05). Percentage information remembered (question 12) significantly decreased between T1 (mean 86%, standard deviation 0.2, median 94%) and T2 (78%±0.2, median 81%) (P=0.03). Presence in the MTM did not appear to induce or increase anxiety or pre-existing depressive syndrome.Show less >
