Lifestyle interventions are the first treatment in line for patients with overweight and obesity. HCPs are trained to provide lifestyle interventions, but implementing these interventions in primary care remains challenging as HCPs face multiple barriers. There is no clear overview of the perceived barriers and facilitators experienced by HCPs to implement lifestyle interventions targeting weight loss for patients with overweight or obesity in primary care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Main reported barriers by HCPs were lack of time, unavailability of staff, lack of tools and limited financial resources. Interventions fitting HCPs workflow, structural financial support, training and tools were reported as facilitators for successful implementation of the intervention. Policy makers should ensure future lifestyle interventions take these barriers and facilitators into account enhancing the implementation and delivery of the intervention by HCPs to their patients in practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s13679-026-00721-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,4]],"date-time":"2026-06-04T05:40:53Z","timestamp":1780551653000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Health Care Professionals\u2019 Barriers and Facilitators for the Implementation of Lifestyle Interventions Targeting Weight Loss in Primary Care \u2013 A Systematic Review of Qualitative Studies"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8694-5161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maxime A.M.","family":"Van der Velden","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8720-3290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priya","family":"Gharbaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8804-9025","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuria","family":"Jansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maxim","family":"de Jong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5941-4820","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrick J.E.","family":"Bindels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6926-0618","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marienke","family":"Van Middelkoop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"Suppl 6","key":"721_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/obr.13226","volume":"22","author":"M Buoncristiano","year":"2021","unstructured":"Buoncristiano M, et al.
