AB  - BACKGROUND: Virtual communities of practice (vCoPs) facilitate online learning 
      via the exchange of experiences and knowledge between interested participants. 
      Compared to other communities, vCoPs need to overcome technological structures 
      and specific barriers. Our objective was to pilot the acceptability and 
      feasibility of a vCoP aimed at improving the attitudes of primary care 
      professionals to the empowerment of patients with chronic conditions. METHODS: We 
      used a qualitative approach based on 2 focus groups: one composed of 6 general 
      practitioners and the other of 6 practice nurses. Discussion guidelines on the 
      topics to be investigated were provided to the moderator. Sessions were 
      audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was performed using 
      the ATLAS-ti software. RESULTS: The available operating systems and browsers and 
      the lack of suitable spaces and time were reported as the main difficulties with 
      the vCoP. The vCoP was perceived to be a flexible learning mode that provided 
      up-to-date resources applicable to routine practice and offered a space for the 
      exchange of experiences and approaches. CONCLUSIONS: The results from this pilot 
      study show that the vCoP was considered useful for learning how to empower 
      patients. However, while vCoPs have the potential to facilitate learning and as 
      shown create professional awareness regarding patient empowerment, attention 
      needs to be paid to technological and access issues and the time demands on 
      professionals. We collected relevant inputs to improve the features, content and 
      educational methods to be included in further vCoP implementation. TRIAL
