To evaluate the sustaining effects of Tai Chi Qigong (TCQ) in improving the psychosocial health in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in the sixth month.
COPD affects both physical and emotional aspects of life. Measures to minimize patients' suffering need to be implemented.
206 COPD patients were randomly assigned into three groups: TCQ group, exercise group, and control group. The TCQ group completed a three-month TCQ program, the exercise group practiced breathing and walking exercise, and the control group received usual care.
Significant group-by-time interactions in quality of life (QOL) using St. George's respiratory questionnaire (P = 0.002) and the perceived social support from friends using multidimensional scale of perceived social support (P = 0.04) were noted. Improvements were observed in the TCQ group only.
TCQ has sustaining effects in improving psychosocial health; it is also a useful and appropriate exercise for COPD patients.
评估太极拳气功(TCQ)在改善慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者六个月时心理社会健康方面的持续效果。
COPD会影响生活的身体和情感方面。需要采取措施将患者的痛苦降至最低。
206例COPD患者被随机分为三组:TCQ组、运动组和对照组。TCQ组完成了为期三个月的TCQ项目,运动组进行呼吸和步行锻炼,对照组接受常规护理。
使用圣乔治呼吸问卷的生活质量(QOL)(P = 0.002)和使用多维感知社会支持量表的来自朋友的感知社会支持(P = 0.04)存在显著的组×时间交互作用。仅在TCQ组中观察到改善。
TCQ在改善心理社会健康方面具有持续效果;它也是COPD患者一种有用且合适的锻炼方式。
