Anxiety of Patient and His Partner During Admission to Emergency Department

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Evaluate and compare the impact of partner's stress in the pain of the patient admitted in the emergency department

Detailed Description
-----------------
Admission to an emergency department is a major source of anxiety for the patient. Anxiety plays not only a role in its emotional state but can also have consequences on the taking care of the patient and especially on the analgesic procedure. Since pain is one of the first causes of emergency admission, patient anxiety should not be overlooked. In the emergency department, patient consults frequently, with his partner . Anxiety can also affect the partner, which may affect the patient. No studies have yet demonstrated this correlation. This study will evaluate, the anxiety of both parties and show the presence or not of an influence of the partner's anxiety on the patient using a standardized questionnaire, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory- form Y (STAI-Y).
