Topical treatments are first-line and effective, but non-adherence is common due to slow onset of action, or lack of advice on how to manage side effects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title><jats:p>The Acne Care Online programme is developing an online intervention to support acne self-management and help-seeking. This project aims to explore experiences and views of healthcare professionals (HCPs) treating acne to assess the acceptability and feasibility of implementing this intervention and embedded decision aid in practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>This qualitative study recruited HCPs working in general practice. Email invitations were sent to eight research-active practices in Southwest England, and snowball sampling was used. Purposive sampling was used to seek diverse participants. Semi-structured virtual interviews were conducted, audio-recorded, and transcribed. Data were explored using thematic analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nine interviews were conducted, including seven GPs, one nurse, and one pharmacist. Findings highlighted challenges faced by HCPs managing acne in time-limited consultations, particularly around patients\u2019 limited understanding of effective treatments, frequent requests from patients for non-first-line treatments, treatment non-adherence, and addressing psychosocial impact. The intervention and embedded decision aid were perceived as beneficial in addressing these challenges, improving shared decision making, and providing a reliable resource for patients. Interviewees suggested integrating the intervention into electronic practice templates for effective implementation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>HCPs were positive about the potential for the intervention to be implemented as a useful tool in practice. Potential implementation barriers need to be considered, such as making the intervention quick to access in time-limited consultations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3399\/bjgp24x737805","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,21]],"date-time":"2024-06-21T01:00:22Z","timestamp":1718931622000},"page":"bjgp24X737805","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Development and implementation of an online intervention and embedded decision aid to support self-management of acne vulgaris: qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals"],"prefix":"10.3399","volume":"74","author":[{"given":"Fathema","family":"Miah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rosie","family":"Essery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Steele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rebekah","family":"Le Feuvre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ingrid","family":"Muller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miriam","family":"Santer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1987","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,20]]},"container-title":["British Journal of General Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.3399\/bjgp24X737805","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,4]],"date-time":"2025-06-04T10:10:50Z","timestamp":1749031850000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/bjgp.org\/lookup\/doi\/10.3399\/bjgp24X737805"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,6]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"suppl 1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,20]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.3399\/bjgp24X737805"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3399\/bjgp24x737805","relation":{},"ISSN":["0960-1643","1478-5242"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0960-1643"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1478-5242"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,6]]}}}
