“…It also reduces negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, makes them feel better, and improves the social interaction of patients and their families [ 23 , 24 ]. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the physical activity of patients undergoing hemodialysis and to encourage them to engage in an exercise in their life [ 25 ].…”

“…It seems that a greater perceived benefit from exercise could lead to greater participation in physical activities, while greater perceived barriers from exercise may lead them to avoid exercise participation [ 24 , 29 ]. According to the literature review, some of the perceived benefits of exercise include better control of diabetes and blood pressure, improved heart rate changes, nutrition and mental health [ 25 ], improved physical function, physical capacity and physical fitness [ 20 ], prevention of falls [ 22 ], and improved sleep quality [ 21 ]. In contrast, the factors such as the presence of ESKD symptoms, exercise-related adverse outcomes [ 13 ], underlying diseases, psychological factors [ 27 ], socio-economic and cultural factors such as low literacy, low income, lack of access to exercise facilities, lack of motivation and interest [ 30 ], old age, exacerbation of dialysis-related symptoms [ 26 ], absence of support for exercise from family, friends, and health care providers [ 22 ], and insufficient patients’ knowledge of exercise benefits [ 31 ].…”

Background Patients on hemodialysis have less exercise capacity and lower health-related quality of life than healthy individuals without chronic kidney disease (CKD). One of the factors that may influence exercise behavior among these patients is their perception of exercise benefits and barriers. The present study aimed to assess the perception of hemodialysis patients about exercise benefits and barriers and its association with patients’ health-related quality of life. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 227 patients undergoing hemodialysis were randomly selected from two dialysis centers. Data collection was carried out using dialysis patient-perceived exercise benefits and barriers scale (DPEBBS) and kidney disease quality of life short form (KDQOL-SF). Data were analyzed using SPSS software ver. 21. Results The mean score of DPEBBS was 68.2 ± 7.4 (range: 24 to 96) and the mean KDQOL score was 48.9 ± 23.3 (range: 0 to 100). Data analysis by Pearson correlation coefficient showed a positive and significant relationship between the mean scores of DPEBBS and the total score of KDQOL (r = 0.55, p < 0.001). Moreover, there was a positive relationship between the mean scores of DPEBBS and the mean score of all domains of KDQOL. Conclusion Although most of the patients undergoing hemodialysis had a positive perception of the exercise, the majority of them do not engage in exercise; it could be contributed to the barriers of exercise such as tiredness, muscle fatigue, and fear of arteriovenous fistula injury. Providing exercise facilities, encouraging the patients by the health care provider to engage in exercise programs, and incorporation of exercise professionals into hemodialysis centers could help the patients to engage in regular exercise.

Background Reliable and valid instruments are needed to estimate physical activity levels. The aim was to culturally adapt the “Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity” (RAPA) into Hungarian and to investigate the validity and reliability of this adapted version in the elderly over 50 years. Methods In our cross-sectional study 222 subjects were recruited in Hungary between December 2020 and January 2021(age 61.1 ± 7.9 years, 28% male). Criterion validity of RAPA and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)—Hungarian long version was tested by Spearman’s rank correlation. The examination of repeatability was based on a group of 32 people, and on the one-week test–retest reliability approach, and in addition to this during the statistical analysis intra-class correlation coefficient was calculated. To examine the sensitivity and specificity of the RAPA, negative and positive physical activity values were calculated from the results of the long version of the IPAQ and the RAPA. We tested 4 hypotheses (3 validity, 1 reliability). We considered acceptable validity and reliability if > 75% of hypotheses were confirmed. Results: All of the hypotheses (100%) were confirmed. Based on results of the validity testing of the newly adapted questionnaire was showed a moderate correlation between the examined measurement tools (R = 0.542, p < 0.001). The test–retest results of the questionnaire (N = 32, R = 0.988, p < 0.001) showed strong association. Conclusion RAPA showed fair to moderate validity and strong test–retest reliability similar to other studies. Based on our study’s results the RAPA is a valid and reliable questionnaire to measure the elderly Hungarian population’s physical activity.
