Study On The Influence Of Ba Duan Jin On Sleep Condition In Community Old People

Objective: To explore the impact of short-term Ba Duan Jin Exercise on sleep condition among the community-dwelling female elderly aged 60-80.Methods: Community intervention trials was used in the study.Through convenient sampling method,142 eligible elderly who met inclusive criterion were chosen after initial screening.All participants were randomly allocated to intervention and control group.There were 71 participants in intervention group while the rest 71 in control group.Before and after the intervention,the general demographic information,the sleep condition information,we identify the participants in the constitution of Chinese medicine.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Polysomnography were used to assess the sleep status,and the latter used the voluntary principle.For intervention group,a 3-month duration with 1 hour per day and 5 days per week Ba Duan Jin Exercise were conducted.The intervention form was primarily designed as collective Ba Duan Jin Exercise,with same intensity individual exercise as supplementary if a participant could not be able to join in collective exercise.Besides,health education was carried out 1 times by distributing materials related to elderly falls prevention.During intervention period,exercise log was used among intervention group to record the quality and quantity of Ba Duan Jin Exercise.Telephone interview or household interview were used among control group to investigate the situation of physical activities and loss to follow-up.PSQI score,PSG monitoring data as the main evaluation index.We compared the PSQI score between the intervention group and the control group before and after the intervention,so as to study the short-term effects of Ba Duan Jin on the sleep status of the subjects.Results: Two subjects in the study were withdrawn at the beginning of the study(loss rate of 1.4%)and 140 subjects were included in the analysis.The training object of the intervention group was evaluated and evaluated with a pass rate of 100%.After intervention,the intervention group PSQI score was better than the control group.There was a significant difference in the total scores of PSQI scores,sleep efficiency,sleep disturbance between the four indicators of the intervention group and the control group(P<0.05).There were significant differences(P<0.05)between the two groups in the evaluation indicators of sleep efficiency,N3 sleep ratio,total sleep time,sleep latency between the two groups.Conclusions: Ba Duan Jin short period exercise can improve sleep condition of the elderly population aged 60-80 years old.
