    Abstract
    Background: Many patients undergo repeat endoscopy before surgery for colorectal tumours. This is commonly due to non-standard documentation and inconsistent tumour marking during the initial endoscopy procedure. Repeat endoscopies delay surgery and put patients at risk of colonoscopy-related complications. Recommendations have recently been developed to standardize how colorectal lesions are localized and documented. This study identifies the barriers and facilitators to using these new recommendations in Winnipeg, Canada. Methods: Gastroenterologists and surgeons were purposively sampled from every endoscopy suite and hospital in Winnipeg. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), a semi-structured interview guide was developed to determine participants’ perceived facilitators and barriers to using these new guidelines. Transcribed interviews were analyzed and aligned to the CFIR using directed content analysis. Solutions to perceived barriers were categorized using the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) framework. Results: Ten surgeons and eleven gastroenterologists participated. Both specialty groups had four net facilitator constructs in common: ‘Relative advantage’, ‘Trialability’, ‘Complexity’, and ‘Design quality & packaging’. Surgeons identified ‘Innovation source’, ‘Tension for change’, ‘Learning climate’, and ‘Self-efficacy’ as net facilitators, which were not facilitators according to gastroenterologists. Unique to gastroenterologists, ‘adaptability’ was a net facilitator. Surgeons and gastroenterologists had many similar barriers. Barrier constructs common to both specialties included: ‘External policy & incentives’, ‘Organizational incentives & rewards’, and ‘Available resources’, ‘Goals & feedback’, ‘Access to knowledge & information’, ‘Knowledge & beliefs about the intervention’, ‘Individual identification with the organization’, ‘Evidence strength and quality’, and ‘Costs’. Uniquely, gastroenterologists identified ‘self-efficacy’ as a net barrier, which was a facilitator for surgeons. Surgeons identified ‘compatibility’ as a barrier, which had more mixed perspectives for gastroenterologists. According to the ERIC framework, barriers from both specialties could be addressed through educational interventions, altering incentives/allowance structures, accessing new funding, and employing audit and feedback processes. Conclusions: We identified barriers and facilitators to implementing new recommendations for documenting and marking colorectal tumours at endoscopy. Future research is needed to develop implementation strategies based upon the present study results and test for feasibility and effectiveness outcomes.
