Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Depression level, assessed using the "Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)" questionnaire; interpreted as follows: (a) 0 = minimum score, no depression; (b) 10 to 16 = indicates a state of mild to moderate depression; (c) 17 to 29 = comprises a state of moderate to severe depression; and (d) 30 to 63 = indicates a state of severe depression. Difference between groups and intragroup will be used, with p value <0.05 to be significant. | — |

| Mood state, assessed using the "Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS)". This instrument consists of 24 items based on a five-level scale (0= nothing / 4= extremely), in which the participant positions himself considering how he feels at the time of collection. The sum of the responses for each dimension results in a score ranging between zero and 16 points. Difference between groups and intragroup will be used, with p value <0.05 to be significant.;Stress, through the "Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)". It consists of 14 items, which take into account the last month, with questions that address feelings related to coping with stress. The answer to each question is how often the person felt that way, and the answers are given in 5 levels (0=never/4=always). The total Score can range from 0 to 56, with higher levels also indicating a higher level of stress. Difference between groups and intragroup will be used, with p value <0.05 to be significant.;Sleepiness level, assessed using the "Epworth Sleepiness Scale (Ese-Br)". It consists of 8 items, with an answer option from 0 to 3, indicating the probability of falling asleep in certain daily situations. Its total score can range from 0 to 24, where a score greater than 10 already determines an abnormal, possibly pathological, sleepiness. Difference between groups and intragroup will be used, with p value <0.05 to be significant.;Sleep quality, assessed using the "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)". This index is composed of nine questions that assess sleep quality and pattern, and are grouped into seven components: subjective quality, latency, duration, habitual efficiency, disturbances, medication use and daytime dysfunctions. Each component is rated on a scale from zero to three points, with three being the negative end of the scale. The sum of the values of these components constitutes the Total PSQI index, which when greater than or equal to five, indicates poor sleep quality.
