The randomized controlled second phase will be carried out, single-blind, nurse-led, with approximately 20 patients with anxiety randomized to intervention (n=10) or control groups (n=10). The usual treatment and care will be compared with the application of the psychotherapeutic intervention model previously developed in nursing.
