Seven validated instruments were used to assess PCPs\u2019 skills in family care (FNPS, EPCS, and ICS-Nurse), attitudes towards evidence-based practices (EBP-B), and perception of a newly developed, evidence-based bereavement care guidance (acceptability AIM, appropriateness IAM, feasibility FIM).

They perceived the bereavement care guidance as highly acceptable and appropriate (median 75%) and rather feasible (median 68%). A more favourable attitude towards evidence-based practices was associated with higher perceived acceptability (Spearman\u2019s rho,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.038), appropriateness (Spearman\u2019s rho,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.029), and feasibility (Spearman\u2019s rho,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.0019) of the guidance.
