Analysis of Barriers and Facilitators to Adapted Physical Activity for Pediatric Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

This study aims to identify perceived barriers and facilitators to regular physical activity among children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) followed in pediatric gastroenterology. Approximately 60 participants aged 10-17 years will complete two self-administered questionnaires (CAPAS-Q for physical activity/sedentary behavior and IMPACT-III for health-related quality of life) and take part in a single semi-structured interview exploring experiences, obstacles, and levers to support sustainable physical activity. Relevant clinical data (disease characteristics, treatment and selected routine clinical parameters) will be extracted from the medical record. Participation is limited to one visit (about 45-60 minutes) during a routine hospital appointment, with no additional intervention or follow-up required.

participate in a semi-structured interview about perceived barriers and facilitators to physical activity. No counseling, training, or treatment is provided.

Primary outcomes

  1. Perceived barriers and facilitators to regular physical activity

    Time frame: at the inclusion

    Assessed through a single semi-structured interview. Qualitative thematic analysis will be used to identify and categorize perceived barriers and facilitators to regular physical activity in pediatric IBD.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Physical activity level and sedentary behavior (CAPAS-Q)

    Time frame: at the inclusion

    Measured using the CAPAS-Q self-administered questionnaire to describe participants' physical activity and sedentary behavior.

  2. Health-related quality of life (IMPACT-III)

    Time frame: at the inclusion

    Measured using the IMPACT-III self-administered questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life in pediatric IBD.
