Evaluation of practices: retrospective and prospective monocentric survey on the satisfaction of patients undergoing Cardiac Surgery who were able to benefit from additional management by Ericksonian Medical Hypnosis during their stay.

Since 2018, additional care using Ericksonian Medical Hypnosis has been offered to patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Cardiac surgery is one of the most complex and high-risk procedures, requiring a general anaesthetic and a stay in intensive care.

Its aim is to reduce pre-operative stress and anxiety, which are always present to varying degrees before this type of treatment. The aim is to put the patient back at the centre of his or her care by making them active and active participants throughout the treatment process.

Many studies have demonstrated the benefits of hypnosis in reducing anxiety, depression, pain perception, sedation and comfort during hospitalisation. However, very few studies have looked at the quality of life of these patients for up to a year.

Hypnosis support is subject to the number and presence of trained nursing staff.

In order to assess the feelings of patients who have benefited from this additional treatment, and to improve our practices, we would like to carry out a satisfaction survey using questionnaires including the EQ5D-5L quality of life questionnaire.

Inclusion Criteria:

• > 18 years
• Patients undergoing major cardiac surgery
• Patients who have had perioperative hypnosis sessions.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Opposition of the patient to the conservation of data
• Subject under guardianship or subject deprived of liberty, as referred to in articles L1121-5 to L1121-8 of the CSP (French Public Health Code)
• Pregnant or breast-feeding women
• Contraindication to the practice of hypnosis

Patients hospitalised for cardiac surgery who received hypnosis sessions in cardiac surgery at their request.

Analyses of the primary and secondary endpoints will be descriptive. Continuous variables will be described using the mean and standard deviation, as well as the median and interquartile range. Qualitative variables will be described in terms of numbers and associated percentages.

All analyses will be carried out on a frozen database, in accordance with current good practice at Grenoble Alpes University Hospital.

The analyses will be carried out under the supervision of a statistical engineer from the Data Engineering Unit.
