Knowledge, barriers and facilitators of exercise in dialysis patients: a qualitative study of patients, staff and nephrologists

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Patients, staff and nephrologists perceive a number of barriers to exercise, some of which may be modifiable. Participants desired an individualized intra-dialytic exercise program which incorporates education and motivation, and they provided a number of recommendations that should be considered when implementing such a program.
