Brief Summary

It is now known that the level of patients' expectations about a treatment (intervention, medication) can influence their prognosis. Positive expectations impact the effectiveness of the intervention, while negative expectations may lead to adverse events. It would therefore be useful to measure these expectations. However, there is no standardized questionnaire to report the overall level of expectation in the pre-operative phase. A team (led by Pr Meike C Shedden-Mora) has recently developed a questionnaire that aims to assess a patient's general level of expectation regarding a therapeutic intervention, taking into account the direct benefits and the expected adverse effects. This questionnaire, the brief version of the treatment expectation questionnaire (TEX-Q) is composed of 15 items. There's currently no French translation of the TEX-Q, nor has it been tested on a population scheduled for surgery. In addition to expectations regarding the surgical procedure, patients seem to have various expectations regarding the impact and specific role of anesthesia. Little literature exists on specific expectations regarding the role of anesthesia. Thus, we believe it is necessary to validate a French version of the TEX-Q questionnaire (TEX-Q-F) applied to the context of scheduled surgery, as well as to evaluate the specific expectations of anesthesia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Validation of the french version of the TEX-Q.

    Evaluate the validity of the French version of the brief version of the TEX-Q to assess preoperative expectations before scheduled surgery

    At the anesthesia consultation (One month before surgery)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Assessment of the association between expectations and the quality of postoperative recovery.

    At 24 hours after surgery

  • Assessment of the association between expectations and patient's satisfaction about the care provided.

    At 24 hours after surgery

  • Minimal important difference

    At the anesthesia consultation (One month before surgery)

Study Arms (2)

Group - assessment of reproductibility of TEX-Q-F

This groupe will fill in the questionnaire twice : * at first before the anesthesia consultation * then, 7 days after the consultation (without further information) This group will be composed of 100 subjects. We will then assess the influence of their answers on their recovery by collecting their answer of QoR-15 (quality of recovery) and EVAN-G (satisfaction) at 24 hours after the surgery.

Other: TEX-Q-F before scheduled surgery

Group - assessment of the responsiveness of the questionnaire after information

This group will also fill in the questionnaire twice : * at first before the anesthesia consultation * then, 7 days after the consultation and AFTER a phone interview (about 15 minutes) with an experienced practitioner to provide appropriate information concerning the anesthesia and the postoperative rehabilitation process. This group will also be composed of 100 subjects. We will then assess the influence of their answers on their recovery by collecting their answer of QoR-15 (quality of recovery) and EVAN-G (satisfaction) at 24 hours after the surgery.

Other: TEX-Q-F before scheduled surgery

Interventions

The TEX-Q-F questionnaire (French version of the breif version of the TEX-Q) contains 15 questions to assess the patient's overall expectations concerning the surgery. The first 11 questions concern the patient's expectations regarding the postoperative period: pain and functional recovery. The last 4 questions focus on the patient's hopes for the outcome of the surgery. Each item is scored from 0 to 10, according to the intensity of the level of expectation.
