Article Synopsis
- The Colombian Ministry of Health published a clinical practice guideline in 2015 for amputee patients, but there’s a need for effective implementation strategies that consider the users' contexts.
- This study involved semi-structured interviews with 38 users, including patients and health workers, to gather insights on the barriers and facilitators to implementing the guideline in Colombia's healthcare system.
- Key barriers identified include individual patient and professional characteristics, limited resources and timely care within the health system, and issues related to the utility and flexibility of the clinical guidelines themselves.

As part of a research study undertaken in the period 2003-2011 to understand situations of homicidal violence based in perceptions regarding the act of violence and the surrounding context, we reflect on the meaning of "invisible bourdaries" in the neighborhoods of Medellin (Colombia). Using a qualitative approach that combines documentary sources and interviews, the experiences of 8 participants are analyzed. In the primary results we can see how control over neighborhoods is exercised by different actors through bourdaries not visible to ordinary people.
