Summary

Anxiety is a form of psychic and/or physical discomfort caused by the feeling of the imminence of a danger. It is a frequent perioperative manifestation of patients. Pharmacological premedication is currently used to avoid perioperative anxiety. However, its effect is now controversial and non-drug techniques have been also studied.

The therapeutic communication aims to provide analgesia or anxiolysis to enhance the patient's well-being and to separate the patient from the surrounding reality through the suggestion of positive images with a chosen verbal and nonverbal approach. This prospective, monocentric, comparative, double-blind study aims to evaluate the impact of the training of stretcher-bearers in therapeutic communication on the anxiety of patients who go to the operating room for an endoscopic examination under general anaesthesia.Two groups of patients will be compared: In the first group patients will be accompanied to the operating room by a stretcher-bearer trained in therapeutic communication, in the second group patients will be accompanied by a stretcher bearer without this specific training.
