Abstract:
Objective:To study the rehabilitation effect of mindfulness meditation training on gastrointestinal symp-toms and emotions in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods:We enrolled 100 CHF patients admitted in Fenyang Hospital of Shanxi Province between June 2022 and May 2023.They were divided into control group(n=50,routine nursing)and intervention group(n=50,additional mindfulness meditation training intervention)ac-cording to hospitalization time order.Both groups were intervened for 8 weeks.Scores of gastrointestinal symptom rating scale(GSRS),profile of mood states-short form(POMS-SF)and clinical conditions were compared be-tween the two groups.Results:Compared with patients in control group after 8-week intervention,those in inter-vention group had significant lower GSRS total score[9.00(3.00)points vs.14.0(2.00)points,P＜0.001],di-mensional scores of tension-anxiety(TA)[(4.14±0.90)points vs.(5.14±0.81)points],anger-hostility(AH)[(4.34±0.96)points vs.(5.16±0.51)points],depression-dejection(DD)[(4.42±0.88)points vs.(5.14±0.86)points],fatigue-inertia(FI)[(4.62±0.60)points vs.(5.32±0.77)points],confusion-bewil-derment(CB)[(4.24±0.74)points vs.(5.24±0.62)points],and significant higher dimensional score of vigor-activity(VA)[(16.82±3.21)points vs.(12.84±2.32)points]in POMS-SF scale(P＜0.001 all).Serum N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)level[(2.03±0.42)μg/L vs.(2.35±0.50)μg/L,P＜0.001]in intervention group was significantly lower than that of control group.Conclusion:Mindfulness meditation training has a good effect on the rehabilitation of gastrointestinal symptoms and emotions in CHF patients.It could improve the positive mood state and reduce the negative mood state,and improve gastrointestinal symptoms.
