Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Our study will focus on CAM that can bring iatrogenic risk (phytotherapy, food supplements, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, essential oils), and the following techniques: hypnosis and sophrology.
The study is carried out in two successive phases: the interview phase which will make it possible to obtain results to carry out the questionnaires phase. Patients who will be included in the interview phase will not participate in the questionnaire phase. Finally, patients who participate in the questionnaire phase will not have semi-structured interviews. They will only have to answer the questionnaire.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
semi-structured interview
Screening and inclusion of patients hospitalized or seen in day hospital to conduct semi-structured interviews according to the interview grid. This interview schedule was established after review of the literature and identification of primary and secondary objectives.
* Identification of key ideas through content analysis of the interviews conducted and based of the anchored theory.
* This step is performed until the results are saturated (approximately 15 patients). The principle of saturation is based on the fact that from a threshold, the diversity of the elements collected decreases. Much more than an end signal, this principle is "a methodological guarantee" since it allows the possibility of comparing divergent or contradictory data and thus validating the data.
No interventions assigned to this group
questionnaires
* From the previous results: elaboration of a written questionnaire built according to the results obtained thanks to the previous interviews. In order to apply the simple correspondence factor analysis method, this questionnaire will be constructed on a Likert scale. The objective is twofold:
1. to reduce the observer's bias by considering both the literature reviews but also the points of view of patients to develop the questionnaire;
2. reach a larger patient population (more than 100 patients) compared to the previous qualitative analysis (15 patients planned), in order to generalize the results. This methodology combines both qualitative and quantitative study to minimize bias induced by both types of study.
* Dissemination of the questionnaire and filling by the patient independently. The health professional who submitted the questionnaire will remain available to answer any questions the patient may have.
No interventions assigned to this group
