Brief summary
Each year, 17000 cases of severe hematological diseases are diagnosed in France, with more than 6,000 of these requiring hospitalization in a protective, sterile environment. New methods, such as touch massage, have emerged in response to anxiety symptoms observed in patients in such sterile and isolated surroundings. We hypothesize that during the period of isolation, touch massage becomes a nursing care which can help the patient.

|---|---|---|
| Impact of touch-massage practice on patients' anxiety state, as measured by the anxiety-state questionnaire (Spielberger, CD et al, 1983) to assess the predisposition to anxiety. | 3 weeks | Each patient will complete the anxiety-state questionnaire (Spielberger, CD et al, 1983) to assess the predisposition to anxiety. The evolution of patient anxiety is calculated from the six scores of the anxiety-state scale administered before and after each of the 3 sessions of touch-massageusing the trait anxiety scale score. |
