About

A preoperative reception unit (PORU) has been created at Foch Hospital to receive patients needing surgery and entering the same day of the operation (D0) as part of the reduction in average lengths of stay. This new mode of care requires a specific organization which requires the patient to become the main actor in his preparation.To optimize and make this new care fluid, a phone nurse consultation has been set up to support patients. The objective of this consultation is to discuss with the patient the different stages of his journey. The nurse checks the patient's level of information and reformulates if necessary so that he can receive clear and appropriate information, verifies that the patient has correctly integrated all that is expected for his preoperative preparation. It thus makes it possible to anticipate the issues that could impact the patient care process.The relevance of this consultation has never been assessed. However, the nurses have always good feedback from patients who are often surprised, satisfied with this interview and attentive. On the other hand, nurses who receive patients on the day of their intervention in PORU observe better fluidity in the care of patients who have had a phone nurse consultation. The patient is better prepared, which allows simpler and faster care.

This randomized controlled study will allow investigators to validate the perception of nurse and to assess the relevance of this phone nurse consultation in the best preoperative preparation of patients, the management of preoperative anxiety and the fluidity of patient care.
