Objective:To explore the effects of Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise in rural elderly.Methods:From May to September 2020, totally 80 aged people from 2 villages in Hebei province were selected by convenient sampling. Patients from one village were randomly included into an intervention group ( n=40) , and patients from the other village were included into a control group ( n=40) . Patients in the control group took daily activities and exercise, and received only health education, while patients in the intervention group practiced Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise in addition to daily activities. The Chinese version of Fried Frailty Phenotype Assessment Components, Time Up and Go Test (TUGT) , Five-Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST) , and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to evaluate the frailty, balance ability, lower limb muscle strength, and sleep quality of the two groups of rural elderly before and after the intervention. In this study, totally 80 questionnaires were distributed, and 78 valid questionnaires were recovered, accounting for an effective recovery rate of 97.5%. Results:The Chinese version of Fried Frailty Phenotype Assessment Components and PSQI scores of the rural elderly in the intervention group after the intervention were lower than those in the control group and before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The TUGT and FTSST time of the rural elderly in the intervention group after the intervention were shorter than those in the control group and before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise can delay the debilitating state of rural elderly, improve their lower limb muscle strength, balance ability and sleep quality, and enrich their exercise methods.

Objective:To construct a training program for the life care and caring abilities of home caregivers for the aged with cognitive impairment, so as to provide a basis for conducting training.Methods:From April to May 2021, a preliminary training program was developed through literature review and group discussion. From June to July 2021, purposive sampling was used to select 12 experts from Beijing city, Hebei and Hunan provinces to conduct two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, and finally a training program for life care and caring abilities of home caregivers for the aged with cognitive impairment was constructed.Results:The effective recovery rate of the questionnaire from two rounds of expert consultation was 100.00% (12/12). The authority coefficient of 12 experts was 0.891. The Kendall's W of the first, second, and third level indicators in the second round of consultation were 0.417, 0.205 and 0.200 respectively ( P<0.05). After the second round of consultation, the average value of each item's importance assignment was > 3.500, and the coefficient of variation was < 0.250. The final training program for the life care and caring abilities of home caregivers for the aged with cognitive impairment included 4 training modules, 11 training items, and 35 training content. Training forms included PPT teaching, video learning, case analysis, role playing, operational demonstrations, practical exercises, caregiver self-sharing, and other forms. Conclusions:The training program for life care and caring abilities of home caregivers for the aged with cognitive impairment has good scientific and practical significance, and can provide a basis for the training of home caregivers for the aged with cognitive impairment.
