Study on the effect of Wuqinxi combined with Five Elements music therapy on fatigue and sleep in patients with maintenance hemodialysis
Objective To explore the effect of Wuqinxi combined with Five Elements Music Therapy on fatigue and sleep of ma-intenance hemodialysis patients.Methods Ninety-six patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in Guang'an Hospital of Tradi-tional Chinese Medicine,Sichuan Province,from January to September 2023 were selected and randomly divided into the control group,the Wuqinxi group,and the combined group(Wuqinxi combined with five elements music),with 32 patients in each group.The control group was given routine treatment and nursing care;the Wuqinxi group was implemented with Wuqinxi on the basis of the control group,and the combined group implemented the five elements music therapy on the basis of the Wuqinxi group.Before and after 12 weeks of intervention,the Revised Piper Fatigue Scale(RPFS)and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)were used to assess the fatigue and sleep status of the three groups.Results Post-intervention comparisons among the three groups in RPFS dimension scores and total scores showed statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The total RPFS score of the combined group after the intervention was(3.57±0.47),which was significantly lower than that of the control group,(4.71±0.34)and that of the Wuqinxi group,(4.25±0.53)(P<0.05).Post-intervention comparisons among the three groups in PSQI dimension scores and total scores also showed statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The total PSQI score of the combined group after the intervention was(6.59±2.19),which was signif-icantly lower than that of the control group(13.72±1.85)and the Wuqinxi group(10.03±2.34)(P<0.05).Conclusion The combina-tion of Wuqinxi with Five Elements Music Therapy is an effective method to alleviate fatigue and improve sleep quality of maintenance hemodialysis patients,which can be further promoted.
