Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: The present study aimed to compare the levels of anxiety, stress and depression in individuals who ingested the calming tea and individuals who ingested the placebo tea, up to two hours before the surgical procedure. All research participants answered the questionnaire to quantify anxiety, adapted from the DASS-21 Scale (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale), in the postoperative period.;Outcome 1: The DASS-21 questionnaire, administered in a preoperative setting, demonstrated a profile similar to the clinical scenarios used by the aforementioned scale. The ingestion of both teas proved effective in reducing perioperative anxiety, in addition to recognizing that both the calming tea and the placebo tea can be adopted as a safe, effective, and palatable method for reducing preoperative fasting.
