Description of intervention(s) / exposure
People receiving peritoneal dialysis will be invited to complete an online survey asking about adverse events they have experienced either during, or soon after, completing physical activity or exercise. The study will be a cross-sectional national survey. Participants will be invited to anonymously complete the online survey to be accessed through either a URL link or QR Code. It contains 37 individual questions and is completed only once. It is anticipated that the survey will take ~10-15 minutes to complete.

Summary
Brief summary
Exercise has the potential to enhance the quality of life for people receiving peritoneal dialysis, however, there is concern regarding risk. It is vital to understand risks associated with exercise and physical activity for people receiving peritoneal dialysis. Thus, the aim of this survey is to address this knowledge gap by exploring the characteristics and frequency of adverse health events reported by people receiving peritoneal dialysis related to exercise or physical activity.

Participants will anonymously complete a survey that takes them through a list of adverse events asking if they have experienced the respective event either during, or soon after participation in physical activity or exercise.

Identification of these events will provide increased understanding of the safety of exercise or physical activity for this population. This will enhance the ability of patients and clinicians to make evidence informed decisions regarding possible risks while awaiting the necessary rigorous intervention and adverse event data.
