Abstract
This feasibility study used focus groups to explore the barriers and facilitators to physical activity counseling and physical fitness assessment perceived by office-based nurse practitioners (NPs). Two focus groups consisted of family, adult, and women's health NPs. Data were analyzed using Krueger's approach. Four main themes emerged: activity counseling does not stand alone, NP creativity, time constraints/acuity rules, and client constraints/NP frustration and judgments. These NPs did minimal physical fitness assessment but did engage in physical activity counseling.
