Figure 4

Box plots of pain, anxiety, and stress. (a) Pain. A significant increase in pain is experienced in both experimental groups F(2.290, 80.165) = 24.642, 𝑃<.001. A significant difference F(1, 35) = 7.632, 𝑃=.009 was observed in the awake group compared to the general anesthesia group at “p.o.12 hours” (^a). (b) Anxiety. A significant decrease in anxiety is experienced in both experimental groups F(1.982, 69.362) = 4.637, P = 0.013. (c) Stress. A significant decrease in stress is experienced in both experimental groups F(2.426, 84.911) = 7.920, 𝑃<.001.
