ObjectiveVigorous 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.MethodsStakeholder-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.ResultsAmong 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 barrier (P = 0.01). Among physiotherapists (n = 40 [response rate 48%]), the top 3 barrier categories were heterogeneous groups (n = 26 [70%]), difficult organizational conditions (n = 19 [51%]), and low perceived motivation (n = 19 [51%]). Among physiotherapists, the top 3 facilitator categories were knowledge (n =20 [54%]), homogeneous group composition, and high perceived motivation (both n = 17 [46%]). For rheumatologists (n =73 [response rate 17%], with 54 [74%] answering barrier items and 68 [93%] answering facilitator items), the strongest barriers included not enough information (n = 25 [47%]) and anticipated or perceived disinterest of patient (n =27 [50%]). The strongest facilitators reported by rheumatologists included exercise important topic even in limited consultation time (n = 65 [96%]) and clear evidence for effectiveness of flexibility exercises (n = 62 [91%]).ConclusionThe identified facilitators and barriers will guide the development of stakeholder-specific implementation strategies.
