      Background: Physical activity is important for physical and mental health although people with a stoma commonly experience a reduction in physical activity following their stoma formation.Aim: To assess whether adults with a stoma achieve the recommended amount of physical activity, and to identify any barriers and facilitators that may influence their participation.Method: Community-residing adults living with a urostomy, ileostomy and colostomy were recruited from six regional stoma support groups. Participants completed questionnaires assessing their physical activity levels, self-efficacy, perceived barriers and benefits to physical activity, depression, body image and stoma-related quality of life.Results: 94 adults completed the questionnaire (81% response rate). 84% of participants did not achieve government recommended levels of physical activity. Less active participants perceived greater barriers to physical activity, and had lower self-efficacy for exercise than those who were more active. Reported physical activity was not associated with body image, depression or stomarelated quality of life.Conclusion: Most of the community-residing adults living with a stoma in our sample were physically inactive. Interventions that reduce barriers to exercise, and build self-efficacy in people with a stoma may help to increase their physical activity levels and reduce risks of chronic disease associated with sedentary lifestyles.
