Popis: Background Reorientation in interventions aimed at implementing Health Promotion (HP) on health professionals and public policy managers is a key issue on the political agenda. It is crucial to know which factors influence the process of implementing HP between both fields. The aim of this study was to identify barriers, facilitators and proposals for the implementation of HP and to know which were the differences and similarities between health professionals and public policy managers. Methods A qualitative study was carried out to determine which were the barriers, facilitators and recommendations for the implementation of HP programmes. Between March 2017 -December 2018 six focus groups, purposively selected, were formed (32 women & 20 men). The study was completed with three semi-structured interviews to public policy managers of our area between January 2020-February 2020. Theorical saturation was reached and validity of the study was ensured by triangulation. Results Globally, health professionals and public policy managers identified shortage of global actions, lack of coordination between different health agents and the complexity of social determinants in the implementation of HP as the main barriers. Common facilitators were belief in the effectiveness of social prescription and the tasks related to HP and the existence of new professionals oriented towards the individual and their assets in health. Greater intersectoral relationship with a vision of health in all policies, redistribution of public resources and increase in social prescription were the most valued proposals. Conclusions Prioritize HP strategies in the agenda of all professionals. Health in all policies from all health agents and from interdisciplinary work. Identify and deepen in the study of these factors to develop new proposals for the implementation of HP. Key messages Greater intersectoral relationship is needed. Prioritize HP strategies in the agenda of all professionals.
