Coronary Angiography
Brief summary
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact on preoperative anxiety of an education and information program conducted prior to non-urgent coronary angiography performed in patients hospitalized at the Nîmes University Hospital.
Detailed description
The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the impact of the HEARTLINK program on the following parameters: A. Duration of hospital stay; B. Per operative blood and heart rate?; C. Patient satisfaction (visual analog scale).
Interventions
This visit takes place between days -15 and -7 preceding a coronarography scheduled for Day 0. It is part of standard care and corresponds to a required cardiology consultation.
This visit takes place on the same day as the inclusion visit and includes practical advice concerning the hospital stay, explanations concerning the surgical act and practical advice on its implementation, information on the length of stay and after. An explanatory booklet concerning the surgical procedure is provided to the patient.
A nurse will telephone the patient 72h to 48h before the coronarography scheduled for day 0. During the telephone conversation the nurse will assess the patient's knowledge about his/her pathology, his/her examination and the course of hospitalization. The nurse will answer any questions and if needed provide further information.
This coronarography is scheduled as part of the patient's routine care. This is not an experimental intervention under evaluation.
