Abstract Subject headings

Objective: To be regularly physically active is of major importance for the health of people with metabolic risk factors. Many of these persons are insufficiently active and in need of support. This study aimed to explore barriers and facilitators perceived by health care professionals' within Swedish primary care in their work to support persons with metabolic risk factors to increase their physical activity.Design: A qualitative design with focus group discussions was used. The data were analysed using qualitative content analysis with a manifest, inductive approach.Setting: Primary health care in five Swedish healthcare regions.Subjects: Nine physiotherapists, ten physicians and five nurses participated in six digital focus group discussions including two to six participants.Results: Barriers and facilitators to supporting persons with metabolic risk factors to increase their physical activity were found within four generic categories, where the barriers and facilitators related to each generic category: 'Patient readiness for change', 'Supporting the process of change', 'The professional role', and 'The organisation of primary care'.Conclusion: The findings suggests that barriers and facilitators for supporting patients with metabolic risk factors can be found at several levels within primary care, from individual patient and the health care professionals to the organisational level. In the primary care setting, this should be highlighted when implementing support to increase physical activity in people with metabolic risk factors.KEY POINTSHealth care professionals within primary care are in a position to support people with metabolic risk factors to increase their physical activity.Barriers and facilitators to support the patients should be addressed at several levels within primary care.The study highlights factors on multiple levels such as professional responsibility, organisational prioritisation and resources, and the challenge to motivate behaviour change.
