A cross-sectional study exploring levels of physical activity and motivators and barriers towards physical activity in haemodialysis patients to inform intervention development

Abstract

A cross-sectional study exploring levels of physical activity and motivators and barriers 1 towards physical activity in haemodialysis patients to inform intervention development.

Motivation, Barriers, and Suggestions for Intradialytic Exercise—A Qualitative Study among Patients and Nurses

“…Reviews of the perceptions of patients with chronic kidney disease on physical activity noted similar long and short-term benefits [ 8 , 16 ] for both exercise in general and IE. Interestingly, nearly half of participants ( n = 9) in a UK study could not mention any possible benefit of physical activity for patients on dialysis [ 48 ]. This suggests that patients’ experiences and expectations of physical activity and exercise vary greatly, and it may be the case that patients who are willing to participate in an exercise study are those who view the intervention most favorably.…”

Barriers and facilitators to exercise in haemodialysis patients: A systematic review of qualitative studies

“…However, some patients prefer the exercise designed specifically for haemodialysis patients, in the hope of receiving professional help (Sutherland et al, 2019). (Kontos et al, 2007(Kontos et al, , p. 1306patients).…”

“…4.6.1 | Lack of information support (four studies) Some patients hope to acquire knowledge related to exercise, and hope to receive more physical therapy, stretching or rehabilitation training with the advice of doctors to meet their physical needs, and put forward the importance of supervision (Sutherland et al, 2019). Some patients suggest that the knowledge related to exercise can be increased in the relevant lectures conducted in hospitals (Sutherland et al, 2019). Compared with other people, such as yogis, patients are more willing to get advice from dialysis staff members on exercise (Song et al, 2019).…”

“…However, translating these into clinical practice is challenging (Greenwood et al, 2012; Orcy et al, 2012). Some studies find that the barriers to exercise for haemodialysis patients include comorbid health conditions, lack of motivation, fear of falls, pain and fatigue (Jhamb et al, 2016; Sutherland et al, 2019). Each study is in a different cultural background and the conclusions are different.…”

Prevalencia del sedentarismo durante el tiempo libre en la población de la Comunidad de Madrid. Motivos y barreras para la práctica de actividad física en el tiempo libre

“…La mayor importancia otorgada tanto a la falta de tiempo como a comportamientos arraigados a la inactividad (cansancio, pereza, desgana, etc. ), sugiere que existen barreras predominantes de cara a la práctica de AFTL, independientemente de la conciencia de la población general sobre los beneficios que aporta la práctica de AF en la prevención o tratamiento de enfermedades (M. C. Ainsworth, 2019;Sutherland et al, 2019).…”
