Impact of Modern Art Therapy on Patients' Anxiety and Pain During the Waiting Time in an Emergency Department

"The intervention will begin with a 5-10 minute interview with the patient to define his or her tastes and contraindications to certain techniques. Since the art-therapeutic intervention that will be proposed seeks to generate pleasant feelings, it will be important to rely on the patient's tastes. At the end of the interview, modern art therapy will be presented to the patient and several artistic activities will be proposed (origami, drawing, creative writing).~Once the activity has been chosen, the patient will have 15 to 20 minutes to carry it out, accompanied by the art therapist according to his/her needs. During the activity, verbal exchanges will continue. After the 15 to 20 minutes of the session, 5 minutes will be devoted to the patient's self-evaluation of the past moment, of his level of anxiety, of the intensity of his pain and of his feelings in relation to his passage in the Emergency Department and the art therapy session."
