Objective:

To identify barriers, facilitators and proposals for improvement in the implementation of CPG from the perspective of health professionals.

Materials and methods:

Qualitative study through 85 semi-structured interviews with those responsible for the implementation, dissemination and application activities, and of the operational personnel in primary care centers and hospitals in seven states of Mexico. The content was coded and analyzed with ATLAS.ti 7.0.

Results:

The main barriers found were the failure to update the CPGs and low alignment with other standards, and the impossibility of implementing them due to work overload and limited resources.

Conclusions:

The effort to implement CPG seems to have been erratic and insufficient, and the evaluation of its use non-existent. It is proposed to create integrated and contextualized strategies that prove to be more effective and efficient for the successful implementation of the CPG.
