Interventions
Caregiver Accompaniment Time (CAT) + preoperative hypnosis session
The hypnosis session is performed by a nurse trained in medical hypnosis; this interview lasts approximately one hour and is carried out 5 to 15 days before the hospitalisation. During the hypnosis session, the patient is free to choose what issues she wants to address. The patient will then go from a state of ordinary consciousness to a modified state of consciousness. This state will allow her to activate her own resources to handle difficulties, especially anxiety. Using a post-hypnotic suggestion, the patient will be able to revisit her work at any time she needs
