Despite the fact that prophylactic treatment is effective in patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis, these patients do not recognize prophylactic treatment adequately. This study aimed to investigate the impact of 12 times e-mail-delivered Cupressaceae pollen dispersal data on prophylactic treatment and patient satisfaction (self-management and the support of medical treatment to pollinosis) using questionnaires. The patients targeted in the study were divided into registered (37 patients receiving e-mail delivery from 2016 or earlier) and non-registered (53 patients not receiving e-mail delivery) groups. The results revealed that the proportion of patients who underwent prophylactic treatment and the level of patient satisfaction were higher in the registered group than in the non-registered group. In the registered group, the level of patient satisfaction after registration was higher than that before registration. Overall, e-mails that created patient awareness regarding the dispersal conditions of Cupressaceae pollen motivated them to undergo prophylactic treatment, suggesting the efficacy of this method in increasing patient satisfaction.
