Abstract

It is important to support patients with cancer during their care pathway and even beyond. They undergo long and difficult treatments, all anxiety-causing situations and sources of stress. Sophrological techniques help patients to find calm, lessen their fears and offer them the opportunity to work on themselves through simple easily reproducible exercises. This observation has been verified by a study carried out at the Institut Curie with patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Keywords: accompagnement; anxiety; anxiété; chemotherapy; chimiothérapie; quality of life; qualité de vie; sophrologie; sophrology; support.
