[Facilitators and Barriers to Implementing University Health Management: A Qualitative Study].

ABSTRACT: Changes at German universities, such as an increasing workload and a shift towards competition, require investments in health promotion. University Health Management (UHM) aims to support the development of a health-promoting setting. While conceptual considerations emphasize promising success factors for UHM, empirical studies are lacking. The aim of this qualitative study is therefore to identify facilitators and barriers to the implementation of UHM from the perspective of experts.We interviewed 26 experts in guideline-based interviews regarding facilitators and barriers to implementing UHM. Data were analysed using content-analytical methods following Kuckartz, assisted by MAXQDA 2020 software.We identified eight factors that can be both supportive and inhibiting in the implementation
