Objective To investigate the factors influencing the levels of fear regarding psychotherapy in adolescents with depression. Methods A prospective study was conducted among 258 adolescents with depression who were treated in the outpatient service and inpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from September 2023 to March 2024. A questionnaire survey was performed. The questionnaires used included General Information Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Self-Compassion Scale, Self-Concealment Scale, Depression Self-Stigma Scale, and Thoughts About Psychotherapy Survey. The factors influencing the levels of fear regarding psychotherapy were analyzed among the adolescents with depression. Results The levels of fear regarding psychotherapy in the adolescents with depression were positively associated with the scores on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Self-Concealment Scale, and Depression Self-Stigma Scale (P<0.05), and were negatively associated with the score on the Self-Compassion Scale (P<0.05). Concerns about therapist responsiveness were negatively associated with the score on the Self-Compassion Scale (P<0.05), and were positively associated with the scores on the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and Depression Self-Stigma Scale (P<0.05). The adolescents from onechild families had significantly higher levels of concerns about therapist responsiveness than those from non-one-child families (P<0.05). The levels of image concerns were positively associated with the scores on Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Self-Concealment Scale, and Depression Self-Stigma Scale (P<0.05); the levels of coercion concerns were positively associated with the scores of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Self-Concealment Scale (P<0.05) and were negatively associated with the score on the Self-Compassion Scale (P<0.05). Middle school students had a significantly higher risk of coercion concerns than university students (P<0.05). Conclusions In adolescents with depression, the levels of fear regarding psychotherapy are associated with educational levels, only-child status, depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, self-compassion, self-concealment, and depression self-stigma.
