Introduction:
Scientific evidence indicates that the community-based rehabilitation (CBR) model is recommended for recovery from mental disorders. However, this approach encounters barriers and often lacks implementation strategies.
Aim:
The aim of this study was to create a strategy for the implementation of CBR for mental health in Colombia through the identification of barriers and facilitators, together with the expected outcomes, from the perspective of mental health decision-makers in Colombia.
Methods:
This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, using focus group data collection methods and thematic analysis to code and analyze the data.
Results:
A total of 208 individuals participated in the study, including mental health decision-makers and health care professionals. Intersectoral collaboration, contextualization, financial resources, and community commitment and autonomy were identified as barriers and facilitators. The element that was considered a priority for successful implementation was the contextualization of strategies.
Conclusions:
CBR needs to be strengthened through implementation science if these strategies are to be successfully developed and implemented in various contexts.
