八段锦在普通型新型冠状病毒肺炎患者中的应用

Application of Baduanjin exercise for patients with mild to moderate COVID-19

目的探讨中医八段锦改善普通型新型冠状病毒肺炎患者身体和心理状况中的效果。方法59例普通型新型冠状病毒肺炎患者分为观察组(n=45)和对照组(n=14),对照组给予常规治疗护理,观察组在对照组的基础上接受八段锦锻炼。采用视觉模拟评分法(VAS)评估患者的乏力状况,采用广泛性焦虑障碍量表(GAD-7)评估患者焦虑情况。结果八段锦锻炼后第3天,观察组患者的乏力VAS评分低于对照组(P<0.05);八段锦锻炼后的第7天,观察组42(93.33%)例患者处于轻度以下乏力状态,对照组有12(85.71%)例患者处于轻度以下乏力状态。GAD-7评价结果显示,干预前,观察组重度焦虑患者34(75.56%)例,对照组重度焦虑10(71.43%)例;干预后观察组45例患者均无焦虑存在,对照组5(35.71%)例患者仍存在轻度焦虑,提示观察组焦虑状况改善优于对照组。结论八段锦锻炼能够在不同程度上改善普通型新型冠状病毒肺炎患者乏力、焦虑等症状。

Objective To investigate the effect of Baduanjin exercise for patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.Methods Totally 59 patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 were assigned to the observation group(n=45)and the control group(n=14).The control group was treated with routine treatment and nursing,and the observation group was given Baduanjin exercise in addition.The scores of Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue(VAS)and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7(GAD-7)were compared between two groups.Results At the third day after Baduanjin exercise,the VAS score for fatigue in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).At the seventh day after intervention,there were 42(93.33%)cases diagnosed with no-to-mild fatigue in the observation group and 12(85.71%)cases diagnosed with no-to-mild fatigue in the control group.Before Baduanjin exercise,there were 34(75.56%)patients with severe anxiety in the observation group and 10(71.43%)patients with severe anxiety in the control group.After intervention,a better improvement in anxiety status was associated with the observation group(none of them had anxiety),and 5(35.71%)with mild anxiety were reported in the control group.Conclusion Baduanjin exercise can relieve the fatigue and anxiety of patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.
