Brief Summary:
The research hypotheses that preoperative formal hypnosis session reduces perioperative anxiety among women undergoing a hysterectomy for pelvic gynecological cancer. The key objective is to estimate the effect of preoperative hypnosis on preoperative anxiety among this population
Detailed Description:
Anxiety is present preoperatively in 40% of patients. The operated subjects are on average 20% more anxious than the general population, according to a study of 2013. Cancer as well as surgery modifying the body pattern and impairing femininity are risk factors for preoperative anxiety. Recent work in both children and adults has shown that significant levels of preoperative anxiety increase the risk of postoperative complications and the occurrence of postoperative emotional and behavioral disorders. The consequences of hysterectomy increase patients' anxiety, for fear of affecting femininity, and the modification of the body regimen. The prevention of preoperative anxiety in such population is therefore a major issue.
