Overview

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.
