Background: There is a need for pragmatic and reliable measures of sound factors that affect evidence-based practice (EBP) adoption and implementation in different languages and cultural environments. The Implementation Leadership Scale (ILS) is a brief and efficient measurement tool of strategic leadership for EBP implementation. The objective of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the ILS.

This study reports on the structured process performed to design targeted de-implementation strategies to reduce inappropriate prescription of statins and to increase healthy lifestyle promotion in low cardiovascular risk patients in Primary Care (PC).
Methods: A formative study was conducted based on the Theoretical Domains Framework and the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW).
Objective: Explore patients' perceptions during a supervised exercise program and detect the barriers and facilitators that influence exercise adherence after the supervision period.
Design: A qualitative observational study with three focus groups as the main data collection technique was conducted. SITE: Primary Health centers of Bizkaia.
Introduction: The prevalence of people with complex chronic conditions is increasing. This population's high social and health needs require person-centred integrated approaches to care.
Methods: To collect data about experiences with the health system and identify priorities for care, we conducted 2 focus groups and 15 semi-structured interviews involving patients with multimorbidity and advanced conditions, caregivers, and representatives of patients' associations.
Background: Despite the established benefits of regular exercise for patients with cancer to counteract the deleterious effects of the disease itself and treatment-related adverse effects, most of them do not engage in sufficient levels of physical activity and there is a paucity of data on the integration of efficacious exercise programs that are accessible and generalizable to a large proportion of patients with cancer into routine cancer care.
Objective: We intend to examine the effects attributable to the implementation of a community-based exercise program on cardiorespiratory functional capacity and quality of life for patients with cancer.
Methods: This will be a hybrid study.
