Description

The medical information provided during the pre-operative phase is an essential and mandatory step in the duty to inform during the initial management of the patient undergoing surgery. The different reasons acting on the quantity and quality of the medical information integrated by the patient can be linked to several factors: among others, the information supports, the age, the listening and comprehension capacities, the level of anxiety or the level of education of the patient, thus creating health inequalities. The use of visual communication seems to be more suitable for patients with a low level of education, illiteracy or non-native speakers. Studies have shown that, in addition to oral preoperative information, the introduction of a visual medium with the use of a video has demonstrated a significant reduction in preoperative anxiety and the use of the Internet.

The prevalence of anxiety is high in cancer patients, particularly during the preoperative phase. The EDOP company has developed a personalized and secure Internet platform containing, among other things, an explanatory video on breast surgery. In the current literature, there are no studies on the contribution of the use of video and web platform in the context of preoperative medical information.

In this study, the investigators hypothesize that the unlimited access to the EDOP platform and the possibility to review as many times as necessary the information concerning their surgical intervention could allow, whatever the situation of the patients, to reduce the level of preoperative anxiety, which is always deleterious. Indeed, studies have shown the negative effects of preoperative anxiety on the quantity of anaesthetic used during the operation or on the consumption of analgesics postoperatively. A reduction in preoperative anxiety would therefore be likely to lead in the short term to a reduction in drug treatments and probably to a better state of health.

The main objective is to evaluate the impact of additional personalized preoperative medical information, accessible via a secure internet platform, on anxiety on the morning of surgery, in the context of breast cancer surgery, after conventional oral and written information.

The secondary objectives are to compare between the 2 groups:

• the change in anxiety between the preoperative visit and the morning of the procedure,
• patient satisfaction and understanding of the preoperative medical information received after the preoperative visit, on the morning of the operation, at discharge (between D0 and D3) and at the postoperative visit (6 weeks),
• consultation of other websites and contact with the medical team, on the morning of the operation and at the post-operative visit (6 weeks),
• the quantity of anaesthetic products used during the operation
• the consumption of analgesics during the 15 days after the operation
• consumption of anxiolytics during the 15 postoperative days

For the experimental group:

• To evaluate the use of the EDOP platform,
• To evaluate patient satisfaction with this platform.

This is a Multicenter, prospective, randomized, single-blind study. Only the clinical study technician (CST) will know the patient's group. Nursing staff will be blinded. Self-questionnaires will be filled out by the patients and then retrieved by the CT who will enter the data into the eCRF, with no access to these data by the investigators.
