Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale

Self-efficacy is measured by scoring between 0 and 10. The 9 expressions that make up the scale are evaluated on the 11-digit visual scale, which is specified as -Not sure=0 and very sure=10. The lowest score of the scale is 0 and the highest score is 100. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the diabetic foot self-efficacy level increases in parallel.

Time frame: nine weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Foot Care Behavıor Scale

Consisting of 15 items in a 5-point Likert type, the scale is scored according to agree-disagree (1= Never, 2= Occasionally, 3= Sometimes, 4= Often, and 5= Always) and consists of 15 items. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale, which evaluates foot care behavior as a single dimension, is 15 and the highest score is 75. An increase in the scale score indicates that the individual's foot self-care behaviors become positive.
