Benefits of Formalized Care Support Program Following Acute Leukemia Diagnosis

Patients answering the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be offered the opportunity to participate in the study by a nurse trained in this method of period of care support at the time of their announcement of an AL diagnosis. Patients will be given sufficient time to consider their decision. Following this period, patients who wish to participate will be included in the study, will sign the informed consent form and will be randomized (with or without a period of care support following their announcement of an AL diagnosis).

Patients in both groups will have their anxiety and quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30) assessed within the context of their usual care at T0 (at the time of the announcement).

Patients randomized in the arm with period of care support meet the nurse for this accompaniment within 7 days after the announcement.

Patients in both groups will have their anxiety at T1 (within 24 hours after the period of care support for the experimental group, same timeframe for the control group), and again their anxiety and quality of life at T2, two months (± 3 days) after admission to the intensive care unit. An evaluation questionnaire concerning period of care support will be given to the group benefiting from this care and a satisfaction questionnaire for the care will be given to patients in both groups at T2.
