What this Trial Is About
Preoperative anxiety refers to a range of physical and/or psychological manifestations, which can have a significant impact on medical outcomes and the experience of the child and their parents. This study aims to evaluate the impact of preoperative preparation combined with a hypnosis session conducted by nurse anesthetists (IADE) trained in working with children and their families. The goal is to improve the child's experience and reduce perioperative anxiety and stress. It is divided into two phases: * First phase, called "Before": Standard preoperative care is provided according to the existing protocol in the department. Anxiety levels will be measured at the time of induction in the operating room. * Second phase, called "After": In the two weeks prior to surgery, in addition to the standard preoperative care currently in place, the patient will receive a 30-minute visit from a nurse anesthetist trained in hypnosis. This is an added procedure complementing the anesthesia consultation. The visit is divided into two parts: 10 minutes to review and clarify the explanations given by the anesthesiologist and surgeon, and 20 minutes of a formal hypnosis session. A personalized liaison form will be completed to facilitate communication between the consultation and the operating room. Anxiety levels will again be measured at the time of induction.
