Exploring contextual barriers and enablers for the potential involvement of voluntary sports clubs in social prescribing: a qualitative case study in Denmark.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Social prescribing necessitates not only effective referral processes from general practices and a linking mechanism to community service options but also a vibrant community and voluntary sector. Besides ensuring stakeholder buy-in from voluntary organisations, such as voluntary sports clubs, social prescribing also seems to require supportive contextual factors, including competencies and organisational resources necessary to promote patients' sustained engagement. This study aims to explore contextual barriers and enablers for the involvement of voluntary sports clubs in social prescribing, which may be essential in illuminating the potential role of Danish voluntary sports clubs in future social prescribing initiatives.
