dc.description.abstractRationale: People living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) benefit from regular physical activity (PA) to reduce cardiovascular risk and better manage comorbidities. Pharmacists can provide support to increase physical activity by leveraging the regular interactions on their daily community pharmacy practice. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of people living T2D about their engagement in PA using pharmacies as the subject of interest to collect this information. Methods: This study followed a focus group technique using a semi‐structured guide. People living with T2D were recruited in community pharmacies resorting to typical case sampling. Five in person focus group interviews with 23 patients living with T2D were conducted by the research team. Interviews were recorded following consent, transcribed verbatim, coded independently by two researchers and analysed using the socio‐ecologic model. Results: A total of 23 people living with T2D were interviewed. Aspects determining PA engagement ranged from individual aspects such as physical limitations; interpersonal aspects such as having a reference pharmacist; organisational aspects such as activities done through the pharmacy; community aspects such as the cost of exercise activities and policy aspects such as information registry. Conclusions: This study suggests that community pharmacies are currently not considered by people living with diabetes as a source for behaviour change linked to PA but explores possible ways on how this could become a reality in the future.eng
