The practice of hypnosis in general medicine is widespread in XX. While several studies have documented patients’ positive experiences during and shortly after hypnotherapy, the long-term persistence of these therapeutic benefits remains insufficiently explored.Explore patients' experiences one year after specific hypnotherapy in general practice in XX.Qualitative study conducted through semi-structured interviews with adult patients of five general practitioners trained in the same method of hypnosis. Participants had received 3 to 6 therapy sessions completed 12 to 15 months prior. The interview guide was developed in collaboration with several hypnotherapy experts. A thematic analysis was performed on verbatim transcripts after double independent coding. The external validity and methodological rigor were assessed using the COREQ checklist.Eleven interviews were conducted between May and July 2021, until data saturation was reached. Patients reported an overall positive therapeutic experience, with perceived benefits persisting one year later. Hypnosis was perceived as a therapeutic tool that promoted self-awareness, increased self-confidence, and improved symptom self-management skills. The therapeutic alliance was identified as a key factor. The main obstacle mentioned was the financial cost of the therapy.A key strength of this study is the inclusion of patients treated with the same hypnotherapy method. Hypnosis appears to be a relevant within a person-centered model of care. It enables patients to gain a better understanding of their illness and become more autonomous in dealing with it. However, the lack of analysis of external factors may limit the interpretation of the results.Patients reported a positive experience with concrete changes in their daily lives that were still evident one year later. They embraced it as a real therapeutic education tool, with half of the patients practicing self-hypnosis. These findings support the need for further research into the effectiveness and potential indications of hypnotherapy in primary care.
