About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of an Educational and Explanatory Program for a Surgical Act Provided to the Patient Prior to Said Act on Preoperative Anxiety - a Pilot Study at the Nîmes University Hospital on Elective Coronary Angiography
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact on preoperative anxiety of an education and information program conducted prior to non-urgent coronary angiography performed in patients hospitalized at the Nîmes University Hospital.
Read the detailed description
The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the impact of the HEARTLINK program on the following parameters:
- Duration of hospital stay; B. Per operative blood and heart rate?; C. Patient satisfaction (visual analog scale).
- Conditions
- Preoperative Anxiety
- Being tested
- Inclusion visit, Nurse consultation, Telephone contact, Coronarography on day 0
- Keywords
- Coronary Angiography
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Inclusion visitOther
This visit takes place between days -15 and -7 preceding a coronarography scheduled for Day 0. It is part of standard care and corresponds to a required cardiology consultation.
Nurse consultationOther
This visit takes place on the same day as the inclusion visit and includes practical advice concerning the hospital stay, explanations concerning the surgical act and practical advice on its implementation, information on the length of stay and after. An explanatory booklet concerning the surgical procedure is provided to the patient.
Telephone contactOther
A nurse will telephone the patient 72h to 48h before the coronarography scheduled for day 0. During the telephone conversation the nurse will assess the patient's knowledge about his/her pathology, his/her examination and the course of hospitalization. The nurse will answer any questions and if needed provide further information.
Coronarography on day 0Procedure or surgery
This coronarography is scheduled as part of the patient's routine care. This is not an experimental intervention under evaluation.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Care | Other | Patients randomized to this arm will have standard care with no extra interventions.
Intervention: Inclusion visit
