[Effects of Baduanjin on anxiety and depression in 38 elderly patients with essential hypertension]

OBJECTIVE: To explore the impact of Baduanjin on anxiety and depression in elderly patients with primary hypertension. METHODS: 76 cases of elderly patients with primary hypertension with anxiety and depression were selected from October 2019 to July 2020 in the outpatient department of cardiovascular medicine of the Affiliated People's Hospital of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. According to the random number table method, they were divided into 38 cases in the intervention group and the control group. The control group carried out routine treatment and health education. The intervention group carried out Baduanjin movement intervention on the basis of the control group, and both groups intervened for 12 weeks. Observe the changes of SF-12 score and blood pressure level of anxiety self-assessment scale (SAS), depression self-assessment scale (SDS), quality of life scale simplified version of 2 groups before and after intervention. RESULTS: After the intervention, the SAS score, SDS score, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were lower than that before the intervention (P<0.05), and the SF-12 score was higher than that before the intervention (P<0.05); compared with the two groups after the intervention, the SAS score, SDS score and SBP of the intervention group. , DBP is significantly lower than the control group (P averages < 0.05); in the SF-12 scale of the post-intervention intervention group, except for the two dimensions of physiological function and physiological functions, the scores of emotional function, physical pain, mental health, energy and social function are higher than that before the intervention (P average is < 0.05), and compared with the control. The increase in the group is more obvious (P is < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Baduanjin can improve the anxiety and depression of elderly patients with primary hypertension, effectively reduce patients' blood pressure and improve their quality of life.
