Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four overarching themes were identified. Despite universal acceptance of the multifactorial benefits of exercise, there was a lack of confidence in patients\u2019 capabilities to exercise and safety concerns due to complex comorbidities. Interviewees considered themselves \u2018promotors not prescribers\u2019 of exercise. There was no structured exercise history taken outside of cardiac rehabilitation units with significant variability in advice provided. Access to exercise specialist services was limited and disease-specific, with inconsistent and fragmented referral pathways. General Practitioners were considered responsible for facilitating exercise specialist involvement in ongoing care, with onus placed on patients to initiate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is an evidence-practice gap between the established benefits of exercise for chronic disease management and access to exercise professionals and services, resources, and knowledge. This deprioritises exercise as a frontline therapy with patient care implications. This study identified a need to transform the way that exercise care is accessed and delivered in tertiary settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/13558196251362133","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,28]],"date-time":"2025-07-28T12:10:36Z","timestamp":1753704636000},"page":"270-281","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Exercise prescription in the management of chronic disease falling through an evidence-practice gap: Perspectives of doctors and nurses in specialist settings"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5357-2721","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shelley E.","family":"Keating","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3365-3473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shelley A.","family":"Wilkinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy, The University of Queensland, Dutton Park, QLD, Australia"},{"name":"Department of Obstetric Medicine, Mater Mothers Hospital, South Brisbane, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0929-110X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Graeme A.","family":"Macdonald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, QLD, Australia"},{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Princess Alexandra Hospital, Woolloongabba, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3205-9165","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ingrid J.","family":"Hickman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Clinical Research, University of Queensland ULTRA Team, Clinical Trials Capability, Herston, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7356-653X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hannah L.","family":"Mayr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, QLD, Australia"},{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Princess Alexandra Hospital, Woolloongabba, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/sms.12581"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1249\/MSS.0000000000002800"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hlc.2023.06.854"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02640414.2015.1017733"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40279-023-01918-w"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(24)00150-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ajg.2010.488"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/jrsm.2011.110180"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00198-017-3975-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jand.2022.01.012"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2333393617742282"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/intqhc\/mzm042"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732315617444"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1748-5908-7-37"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e072953","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj-2022-072953","article-title":"Guidelines should consider clinicians' time needed to treat","volume":"380","author":"Johansson M","year":"2023","unstructured":"Johansson M, Guyatt G, Montori V.
