Abstract

Vigorous cardiorespiratory training (CRT) in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) is effective, safe. and feasible; however, it has not yet been adopted in axial SpA exercise programs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the barriers and facilitators for vigorous CRT among patients, physiotherapists, and rheumatologists. Stakeholder-specific surveys were used to examine perceptions of barriers and facilitators to vigorous CRT, with categories organized according to the recommendations proposed by Grol and Wensing. Respondents chose the 3 most important barrier and facilitator categories and rated individual items on a 4-point scale. Frequencies and proportions were calculated, and ratings between active and inactive patients were compared. Among all patients (n = 575 [response rate 34%]), the top 3 barrier categories were "low motivation" (n = 317 [59%]), "unsuccessful timing in daily routine" (n = 292 [55%]), and "hindering disease symptoms" (n = 272 [51%]). The top 3 facilitator categories were "high motivation" (n = 248 [47%]), "good organizational conditions" (n = 217 [41%]), and "facilitating disease symptoms" (n = 209 [40%]). More inactive patients than active patients chose "low motivation" as a barrie...Continue Reading
