Objective To explore the influence of Baduanjin exercise rehabilitation nursing on the rehabilitation of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods A total of 89 patients with CHF treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between January 2020 and May 2021 were selected as the research subjects for retrospective analysis.According to the different nursing methods, the patients were divided into control group (n=44) and observation group (n=45).The control group adopted routine nursing, and the observation group was given routine nursing combined with Baduanjin exercise rehabilitation nursing.The 6 min walking test (6MWT), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire (MLHFQ) were compared between the two groups.Results After nursing, the 6MWT of patients of the two groups were longer than those before nursing, with statistically significant differences (P＜0.05).After nursing, the 6MWT of the observation group was longer than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in LVEF levels between the two groups before and after nursing (P＞0.05).The scores of MLHFQ in the two groups after nursing were lower than those before nursing, the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).The MLHFQ score of observation group was lower than that of control group after nursing, the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). Conclusion The application of Baduanjin in CHF patients has a good effect on rehabilitation training, which can effectively improve the patients' motor ability, and thus improve the quality of life.
