Design: A survey-cohort study. Site: Nurses and GPs of Madrid PHC System. Participants: A total of 319 GPs and 285 nurses’ responders. Measurements: Data were analyzed under a classification tree analysis by four predictor variables: (i) Health professional (Nurses/GPs); (ii) Exercise prescription collaboration with all health professionals: physicians, nurses, psychologists, physical therapists, sports medicine physicians, sports scientists, nutritionists, and teachers (Yes/No); (iii) PA promotion collaboration with Sports Scientists (Yes/No); and (iv) The stage of change of PHC staff to PA promotion (0–4 Likert scale). Results: Regarding the predictor variable (i), responders without PA guidelines knowledge and positive attitude to collaborate with nurses in PA promotion are more GPs of female sex (nurses n = 33 and GPs n = 175) than male sex (nurses n = 3 and GPs n = 59) (p < .001). For the predictor variable (ii) only 9.30% of PHC staff with a positive attitude to collaborate with all health professionals in PA promotion and exercise prescription. For the predictor variable (iii) was shown low collaboration with sports physicians and sports scientists under a multidisciplinary PAP approach (26.50% responders). Finally, in the predictor variable (iv) Staff maintaining PAP for at least 6 months, self-considered active, and with PAP knowledge want to collaborate with Sports scientists (Yes = 233; No = 133). Conclusions: Nurses and GPs are conscious of health-related PA benefits despite the lack of PAP knowledge and lack of willingness to collaborate with other health personnel, exercise professionals, and community resources available.2024http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/13560610.1016/j.aprim.2024.102946http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/135606oai:zaguan.unizar.es:135606info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/CB12-03-30038Atencion Primaria 56, 10 (2024), 102946 [18 pp.]by-nc-ndhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.esinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
