This survey was designed to assess the profile of professionals working in intradialytic exercise programs (IEPs) in Brazil and reveal the motivators and barriers they face.
The survey was sent to physiotherapists and exercise physiologists working in IEPs in Brazil. Phone interviews and electronic forms were used to collect the answers to the survey questionnaire.
Forty-one of the 261 included dialysis centers had IEPs; 44 professionals answered the questionnaire over the phone and 26 used the electronic form to do it. A total of 70 professionals (mean age 33.4±7.4 years; 84.3% physiotherapists) answered the questionnaire. Resistance training was the preferred mode of therapy. Most of the IEPs were connected to research and were paid for by private health insurance. The desire to work in a different field (30.0%) and lack of resources (31.4%) were the most prevalent motivator and barrier cited by IEP professionals working in dialysis centers, respectively.
The majority of the few professionals that work in IEPs in Brazil are physiotherapists. Lack of resources was the most commonly reported barrier faced by survey respondents.
本调查旨在评估在巴西从事透析内运动项目（IEP）的专业人员的概况，并揭示他们面临的激励因素和障碍。
该调查针对在巴西从事 IEP 的物理治疗师和运动生理学家进行。采用电话访谈和电子表格收集对调查问卷的回答。
在 261 个纳入的透析中心中，有 41 个中心设有 IEP；44 名专业人员通过电话回答了问卷，26 名专业人员通过电子表格回答了问卷。共有 70 名专业人员（平均年龄 33.4±7.4 岁；84.3%为物理治疗师）回答了问卷。抗阻训练是首选的治疗模式。大多数 IEP 与研究相关，并由私人医疗保险支付费用。希望在不同领域工作（30.0%）和缺乏资源（31.4%）是透析中心 IEP 专业人员报告的最常见激励因素和障碍。
