Abstract Background: The vast availability of and demand for evidence in modern primary health care forces clinical decisions to be made based on condensed evidence in the form of policies and guidelines. Primary health care managers play a key role in implementing these governing documents. Thus, the aim of this article was to investigate the use and availability of evidence-based practice resources from the perspective of first-line primary health care managers.Methods: The study utilized a quantitative method based on a national survey of primary health care managers. The study population was recruited nationally from Sweden and consisted of 186 respondents. The data were analysed using empirically constructed themes and validated using factor analysis. To determine the statistical significance in making comparisons, the chi-square test was utilized. Associations between variables were calculated using Spearman’s correlation. All tests were two-sided, and the significance level was set to 0.05.Results: A majority (97%) of managers stated there was an impact of guidelines and policy documents on primary health care; 84% of managers could see a direct influence in daily practices. Most of the managers (70%) stated that some adaptation had to be made when new evidence was introduced. The managers emphasised the importance of keeping themselves updated and open to new information about work routines (96%). Conclusions: Evidence-based practice has a fundamental impact on Swedish primary health care. The study illustrated a nearly unanimous response about evidence influencing daily practice. The emphasis on the importance of all staff members keeping their professional knowledge up to date can be seen as a direct result of this. An information-dense organization such as a primary health care organization would have much to gain from cooperation with regional information resources such as clinical libraries.Trial registration: Not applicable.

Talk of "partnerships" between communities and primary health care professionals is widely recognized as a valuable selling point of programs competing for grant dollars and community sites. How the partnership manifests itself varies. Funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to a school of nursing, one such program was presented to a Chicago community as having two equal goals: delivery of primary health care to the community; and the education of nursing students. Community Health Advocates were hired to work in the center with a registered nurse to facilitate access to the local neighborhood. This core group maintains the daily functions of the center and are the first three authors of this paper. Nursing students and faculty from the university provide services at the site on the university's schedule to meet the university's goals. In this paper the core staff reflects on the experience and discusses the clash of professional and community standards, objectives, and perspectives, which results in fragmented service
