Despite the importance of PCC, general practitioners (GPs) face obstacles in effectively implementing it, with associated factors remaining unclear. Objectives The PACE GP/FP study aims to explore GPs’ attitudes towards PCC and the factors facilitating or hindering its implementation in daily practice across European countries. This paper outlines the PACE GP/FP study protocol. Methods The cross-sectional design with data collection via an online survey distribution to GPs in 24 European countries. Study instruments include two validated questionnaires (Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Patient Physician Orientation Scale (PPOS)) and additional items covering general information about the doctor and their practice, as well as facilitators and barriers to PCC. These additional items were specifically developed for the study, translated using the forward-backward method, evaluated through cognitive debriefing, and integrated into the REDCap platform to create language and country-specific survey links. The STROBE checklist guides the reporting of the manuscript. Conclusion The PACE GP/FP study will provide a comprehensive exploration of GPs’ attitudes towards PCC and the factors shaping its practice in Europe. The findings from the PACE GP/FP study will provide evidence for designing future implementation strategies and guide targeted interventions to promote PCC in primary care across Europe. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.es info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Klemenc-Ketiš, Zalika Ožvacic Adžic, Zlata Cerovecki, Venija Willems, Sara Tsimtsiou, Zoi Zelko, Erika Collins, Claire Hoffmann, Kathryn Eide, Torunn Bjerve Ares Blanco, Sara Frese, Thomas Lingner, Heidrun Assenova, Radost Torzsa, Péter Seifert, Bohumil Ungan, Mehmet Bayen, Sabine Windak, Adam Azeredo, Joana Stavrikj, Katarina Kreitmayer, Sanda Kostic, Milena Busneag, Iliana-Carmen Koskela, Tuomas Serafini, Alice Butterworth, Joanne Zwart, Dorien Louise Maria González-Lama, Jesús Vuletic, Gorka Van Poel, Esther Tušek Bunc, Ksenija Tuz, Canan Mevsim, Vildan Seifert, Martin Dahli, Mina Hrabac, Pero Hanževacki, Miroslav Rakic Matic, Jelena Tomicic, Marion Rada, Marko Heleno, Bruno Studzinski, Krzysztof Becze, Ádám Megallón-Botaya, Rosa Rogers, Heather Lynn Brütting, Christine Kafadar, Didem Lerma Irureta, David Fornacciari, Davide Nessler, Katarzyna Soleski, Kiril Méndez-López, Fátima Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6409-9041 Çöme, Ogulcan Ahmad, Abeer Petek, Davorina 1006 255 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
