Methods Seventy-five CRF patients treated in our hospital between July 2021 and August 2022 were selected and divided into a five elements music group, a Baduan jin group and a comprehensive intervention group, each of 25, according to a random number table. All groups received routine nursing, the five elements music group additionally received music therapy while the Baduan jin group and the comprehensive intervention group additionally performed Baduan jin exercise and Baduan jin exercise + five elements music therapy, respectively.
