This study was a parallel, randomized controlled trial with a longitudinal research design. Participants were randomly assigned to either the Baduanjin exercise group or the control group. Patients in the intervention group underwent a 12-week Baduanjin exercise programme consisting of 12 weeks of Baduanjin exercise, a 35-min Baduanjin exercise demonstration video, a picture-based educational brochure, and a performance record form. The control group received usual care. Fatigue, sleep quality, psychological distress, quality of life were assessed by a structured questionnaire at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after enrollment.
