Observation on the therapeutic effect of Zhuang medicine ironing therapy on sleep quality in insomnia patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of Zhuang medicine ironing therapy in improving the sleep quality of insomnia patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods A total of 80 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with insomnia admitted to the Pulmonary Disease Department,Guangxi International Zhuang Medicine Hospital from January 2022 to August 2023 were selected.They were randomly divided into a control group and an intervention group,with 40 cases in each group,using a random number table method.The control group received routine treatment and nursing measures,while the intervention group received Zhuang medicine ironing therapy on the basis of the control group.The Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)score and the improvement of life quality of the two groups were observed before and after the intervention.Results After treatment,the PSQI scores of patients in the intervention group decreased compared with those before treatment,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After treatment,the PSQI scores of the two groups decreased compared with the pre-treatment scores,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Except for daytime functioning,the scores of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After treatment,the patients in the intervention group had higher scores on the generic quality of life inventory-74 than those in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion Zhuang medicine ironing therapy can improve the sleep quality and life quality of insomnia patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,which is beneficial to the early recovery of the disease.
