Interventions

Diabetic Foot EducationBEHAVIORAL

Patients in the intervention group will be interviewed and their diabetic foot knowledge will be evaluated. During the interview, the individual's knowledge about the definition of diabetic foot, risk factors, symptoms, treatment, complications, care and prevention will be evaluated. In order to systematically plan, implement and evaluate the training to be used in the intervention, it is aimed to implement androgogical training based on the 'Interpersonal Relations Theory'. In this context, the stages in the theory will be followed as follows.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Descriptive Information Form:

The descriptive information form, which was created by the researchers by reviewing the literature, consists of 16 items in total, including seven questions about individual characteristics (age, gender, height, weight, education level, family structure, smoking) and nine questions about the disease and diabetic foot (HbA1c value, number of years of living with diabetes, treatment(s) received, history of diabetic foot).

Time frame: 2 Minutes

Diabetic Foot Self-Care Behaviour Scale

The Diabetic Outpatient Self-Care Behaviour Scale was developed by Yen-Fan Chin and Tzu-Ting Huang in 2013 (Chin \& Huang, 2013). The Turkish validity and reliability study conducted by Bakır and Samancıoğlu Bağlama was published in 2021. The scale is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 7 items and two sections. The first part consists of four items including practices related to examining, washing and drying the soles of the feet and toes during the week. The three items in the second section are related to the use of shoes and lotion. The lowest score that can be obtained from the first section is 4 and the highest score is 20. The lowest score that can be obtained from the second section is 3 and the highest score is 15. The questionnaire is evaluated over the total score and the score that can be obtained varies between 7-35. As the score obtained from the scale increases, self-care behaviour increases.

Time frame: 5 minutes

Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale

The scale consisting of nine items is answered with an 11-digit visual scale ranging from 0-10. In the answers, the lowest value is expressed as 'I do not consider it sufficient at all' and the highest value is expressed as 'I consider it very sufficient'. The scale has no sub-dimensions and is evaluated on the total scale score. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the highest score is 90. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of diabetic foot self-efficacy increases.

Time frame: 5 minutes
