ABSTRACT: Objective: To explore the effect of Baduanjin exercise on sleep quality, negative emotion and fatigue state of patients with insomnia in end-stage renal disease. Methods: This study was a non-contemporaneous controlled study. Using the convenient sampling method, patients with end-stage renal disease who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the Department of Nephrology of the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical university for Nationalities from April to August 2024 were selected as the research objects. A total of 43 cases hospitalized from April to June 2024 were set as the control group, and 43 cases hospitalized from June to August 2024 were set as the intervention group. The control group was given routine nursing such as regular medication, diet guidance, activity guidance, and psychological counseling. On the basis of that in the control group, the intervention group was given Baduanjin exercise. Sleep quality, negative emotion and fatigue were compared between the two groups of end-stage renal disease patients with insomnia. Results: The improvement of subjective sleep quality, time to fall asleep, sleep duration, sleep efficiency and total score of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in the intervention group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P P P Conclusions: Baduanjin exercise can improve sleep quality by shortening sleep onset time, increasing sleep duration and improving sleep efficiency. At the same time, Baduanjin exercise can improve the negative emotions and fatigue state of patients, which is worthy of further research and clinical promotion.
