AI-generated Abstract

The implementation of evidence-based guidelines in mental health care often faces significant challenges, leading to a notable gap between knowledge and practice. Despite the availability of national guidelines designed to improve patient care and streamline decision-making, awareness and attitudes among decision makers vary. A survey conducted among politicians and mental health managers highlights differing perceptions regarding the usefulness and acceptance of these guidelines, revealing a need for additional resources and training to facilitate implementation.
