Abstract

Patients with hematological tumors experience physical and psychological stress, and negative psychological states. Baduanjin, an emerging psychological rehabilitation method combined with resistance exercise, has received widespread attention. This study reviews the current status of the application of Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise in improving the negative psychological state of patients with hematological tumors and discusses its problems and prospects. Through a literature review and comprehensive analysis, the application of Baduanjin and resistance exercise in the psychological rehabilitation of patients with hematological tumors was identified and evaluated. The results showed that Baduanjin with resistance exercise had a positive effect on improving negative psychological states of patients with hematological tumors, which can alleviate anxiety, depression, and other adverse emotions, and improve quality of life. However, there is a lack of unified and standardized exercise intervention programs for practical application, and patient participation and compliance must be improved. Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise can potentially improve the negative psychological status of patients with hematological tumors; however, it is still necessary to further standardize and improve the exercise program improving patient participation and compliance. Future studies should strengthen theoretical exploration and empirical research, providing more effective psychological rehabilitation strategies for patients with hematological tumors.

Keywords: Hematological tumors, Baduanjin, Resistance exercise, Negative psychological state, Psychological rehabilitation
