Background: Low activity levels and poor physical function are associated with technique failure and mortality in people receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). Adequate levels of physical function are required to maintain independence for people choosing this predominantly home-based therapy. Aim: Explore exercise-related perceptions and practices of PD clinicians across Australia and New Zealand. Methods: Cross-sectional 13-item web-based survey of PD clinicians through the Renal Society of Australasia and Australian and New Zealand Society of Nephrology. Results: 149 PD clinicians (42 nephrologists, 73 nephrology nurses, 29 dietitians and 5 others, 109 female, 40 male) responded from Australia (91%) and New Zealand (9%). 69% had greater than 5 years PD experience. Recommendations were present for falls, swimming, activity following catheter insertion and lifting in 44%, 70%, 76% and 63% of programs respectively. 5% of respondents had an exercise professional in their nephrology program even though 91% agreed that the majority of patients would benefit from an exercise professional. The majority agreed that structured exercise programs (n=136, 91%) would be beneficial for people receiving PD. Most respondents believed people on PD could perform more exercise (n=135, 86%), with 46% (n=69) agreeing and 42% (n=63) unsure that abdominal strengthening exercises could be safely performed. Conclusion: Most clinicians in Australia and New Zealand know the importance of physical activity in people receiving PD. Exercise professionals and structured exercise plans could be included in the standard care of people receiving PD to maintain independence.
