Abstract:  

Objective: The objective is to investigate the effect of five-animal frolics on anxiety and depression of hospitalized inpatients.
Materials and Methods: Totally 50 inpatients from departments of Internal Medicine, Surgery and General Medicine with hospital admission date between January 2019 and July 2020 were included. All patients exercise five-animal frolics under the professional guidance of the nurse in charge. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess the conditions of anxiety and depression of patients before and after taking five-animal frolics exercise.
Results: The overall score of anxiety patients was significantly lower after five-animal frolics exercise than before [6.0 (5.0, 8.0) vs. 10.0 (8.0, 12.0), Z=-5.466, P ＜ 0.001]; the overall depression score of patients was significantly lower after five-animal frolics exercise than before [6.5 (4.0, 8.0) vs. 10.0 (8.0, 14.0), Z=-5.175, P ＜ 0.001]. There were 26 (52.0%) very effective cases after exercise, 16 (32.0%) effective cases, 8 (16.0%) invalid cases, and the effective rate was 84.0%
Conclusion: Taking five-animal frolics exercise can improve anxiety and depression of inpatients.
